Warren County's Legacy For The Quest To Eliminate Health Disparities, Charles Lee
Warren County's Legacy For The Quest To Eliminate Health Disparities, Charles Lee
Golden Gate University Environmental Law Journal
At least two paradigm shifts have revolutionized the field of environmental health since Rachel Carson’s day. One occurred when environmental health encountered civil rights, forming the environmental justice movement. We are in the midst of the second, as environmental health reunited with architecture and urban planning. Significantly, these two paradigm shifts are converging. This article will examine how this convergence is taking place, and its significant implications for efforts to achieve environmental justice, community health and sustainability, and the elimination of health disparities.
Title Vi And The Warren County Protests, Bradford Mank
Title Vi And The Warren County Protests, Bradford Mank
Golden Gate University Environmental Law Journal
One part of the 1982 civil rights struggle against building a Polychlorinated Biphenyls (“PCB”) landfill in Warren County, North Carolina, was an unsuccessful suit by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (“NAACP”) under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act .

Warren County And The Birth Of A Movement: The Troubled Marriage Between Environmentalism And Civil Rights, Veronica Eady
Warren County And The Birth Of A Movement: The Troubled Marriage Between Environmentalism And Civil Rights, Veronica Eady
Golden Gate University Environmental Law Journal
The protests at Warren County, North Carolina, in the early 1980s led to several critical, galvanizing events in the history of the environmental justice movement. This article suggests that the environmental justice movement — while often characterized as a marriage between the environmental and civil rights movements — has adopted key facets of both movements. The 1990 letter to the so-called “Big 10” marked an evolutionary point that has led the environmental justice movement to establish valuable alliances with some mainstream environmental groups. Additionally, the article suggests from a jurisprudential perspective that civil rights laws in that same period failed …
Environmental Justice Comes Full Circle: Warren County Before And After, Dollie Burwell, Luke W. Cole
Environmental Justice Comes Full Circle: Warren County Before And After, Dollie Burwell, Luke W. Cole
Golden Gate University Environmental Law Journal
This article/remembrance chronicles the Warren County struggle. It begins before the protests that thrust it into the national spotlight, examining the factors that led to the struggle in the first place. It touches on the protests themselves, and then recounts part of the Warren County story that is not well known: the ultimate detoxification of the polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) site. Finally, it examines the legacy of the Warren County struggle, both nationally and locally in the county itself. In places, it self-consciously departs from the third person to describe in first person narrative (presented in the italicized portions of the …
