Yes, true. I don’t like Van Jones or how he characterized this as coming from “white polluters”, and I said that when I posted the links.
But the fact is that the low-income black section of Baton Rouge suffered terribly. And no one cared. I thought it was terrible then, and those folks needed relief - and I’m glad to say the situation does not exist today. But it did happen.
I have personal experience with a Superfund site.
