When Environmental Justice Meets Human Rights | A Fierce Green Fire | American Masters



The environmental justice movement came from communities that historically bore the brunt of hosting waste sites in their backyards. When a predominantly black county in North Carolina (Warren County) protested a toxic waste landfill, it galvanized the nation to talk about environmental racism. This video with archival footage is an excerpt from American Masters: A Fierce Green Fire, premiering April 22, 2014 on PBS.
