The chemical plants in Cancer Alley are built where there once were sugar plantations. Descendants of enslaved communities still live nearby.
Cancer Alley powerfully illustrates historically produced vulnerability and disadvantage. It also provides powerful examples of Black resistance and resourcefulness.
In conversation with people who live and work in Cancer Alley, the tour describes an exemplary case of environmental injustice and racism, contributing to a digital archive that will help connect communities facing environmental injustice in California, North Carolina, Taiwan, India, and elsewhere around the world.
