Louisiana's Cancer Alley was to have been Focus of Dec. Conference

Exercpt: "In the Mississippi River Chemical Corridor in Louisiana, better known as “Cancer Alley"...Over 135 sprawling petrochemical plants line the 85-miles stretch of the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, spewing hundreds of millions pounds of emission mixtures into the air, water, and ground to form a “toxic gumbo.” Zoning ordinances, deed restrictions, and other land-use mechanisms have been widely used as a "NIMBY" (not in my backyard) tool, operating through exclusionary practices. The “unholy” alliances between government and industry have created environmental “sacrifice zones” with African American communities on the front line of environmental and health assaults.
