Cancer Alley, the eighty-five-mile stretch located in the southern state of Louisiana along the lower Mississippi River where enslaved Africans were forced to labor, serves as an industrial hub, with nearly 150 oil refineries, plastics plants, and chemical facilities. Over 100,000 people live in this area who have likely suffered long-term exposure to cancer-causing chemicals. With the expensive cost of cancer treatment and the density of low-income residents, developing cancer is essentially a death sentence.

Rev Yearwood speaks with environmental and climate justice experts Dr. Beverly Wright & Dr. Robert Bullard about federal environmental regulations failing to protect people, the history of “Cancer Alley,” and the unjust transition in Louisiana.
