  • Summary

  • Many people have heard of “Cancer Alley,” a fatalistic name given to South Louisiana’s chemical corridor along the Mississippi River. But how did this region receive that name, who created it, and what is being done to challenge industrial domination? This episode looks at the swell of Louisiana’s grassroots environmental organizing during the 1980s and 1990s.
