Editor’s Note: Beginning June 4, and continuing over the next several weeks, Environmental Health News will publish Pollution, Poverty, People of Color, a series of stories examining environmental justice issues. For this project, EHN dispatched reporters to seven communities across the United States to report on their struggles to cope with an array of environmental threats. On the 30th anniversary of a North Carolina battle that is widely considered the birth of the environmental justice movement, our reporters and photojournalists found a legacy of lingering problems and newly emerging threats that are jeopardizing people of color in low-income communities. Their stories resonate with all of us, no matter what color or class. - Marla Cone
