My reflection on chapter one; "A History of the Environmental Justice Movement"

It was exciting to read about the history of the Environmental Justice Movement, I would have never guessed that the Environmental Justice Movement  flourished from so many different movements. Like the grassroots anti-toxics movements that blossomed out of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 80's. And how both World War II and the Vietnam War have affected the movement. It's suprising to hear that academics played such a crusial role i both sparking and  shaping the Environmental Justice Movement. 

- I liked the fact that some of the leaders from the Civil Rights Movment later lent assistance to the Environmental Justice Movement.

Nativ American actevist brought experiences of centuries of struggle for self-determination to the Environmental Justice Movement.
