Almost every day the media discovers an African American community fighting some form of environmental threat from land fills,garbage dumps,petrochemical plants,refineries,bus depots,and the list goes on. For years,residents watched helplessly as their communities became dumping grounds.
But citizens didn’t remain silent for long. Local activists have been organizing under the mantle of environmental justice since as far back as 1968. More than three decades ago,the concept of environmental justice had not registered on the radar screens of many environmental or civil rights groups. But environmental justice fits squarely under the civil rights umbrella. It should not be forgotten that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to Memphis on an environmental and economic justice mission in 1968,seeking support for striking garbage workers who were underpaid and whose basic duties exposed them to environmentally hazardous conditions.
In 1979,a landmark environmental discrimination lawsuit filed in Houston,followed by similar litigation efforts in the 1980s,rallied activists to stand up to corporations and demand government intervention.
选项
答案
几乎每一天,媒体都会发现非裔美国人社区为威胁环境的某种形式而战,这些威胁来自废物填注地,垃圾堆放地,石化厂,炼油厂,巴士车厂,不胜枚举。很多年来,居民们看到他们的社区变成垃圾场却无能为力。 但是市民们没有长时间保持沉默。当地的激进主义分子从1968年就开始在环境正义的保护下组织了。三十多年前,环境正义的概念还没有在环境的或民事权利的群体雷达网上注册。但是环境正义在民事权利庇护下正合适。应该记得马丁路德金1968年跟着环境和经济使团去孟斐斯寻找支持那些所的工资过低的扫除垃圾的工人,他们的基本职责容易使他们自己处于环境危险的状况。 1979年,紧随着20世纪80年代同样的诉讼努力,在休斯敦环境歧视诉讼领域的一个里程碑,给予了的激进主义分子们勇敢的抵抗社团并拒绝政府干预。
