For my research paper I will be discussing Environmental Racism in Louisiana. I will specifically be writing on an 80 mile stretch of land that runs from a town called Boutan Rogue to New Orleans. This specific area is known for having a lot of factories/plants/oil rigs being built;especially around povershed minority neighborhoods.
The people of these neighborhoods have been subjected to a lower quality of life due to the many cancers that are caused by the toxins released from the factories, and much of the land has been destroyed;including much of the wildlife that lived there.
