Environmental Justice

STATE OF AFFAIRS 03/28/11: Many Louisville citizens were shocked at last week's dual industrial mishaps - a plant explosion that killed two workers in Rubbertown, and an ammonia leak that caused a scare in Butchertown. But for residents and activists in those neighborhoods, the events were sadly not surprising.
