Plantations to Pollution Black Communities, Legacy Pollution, and the Path Forward Sometimes it’s just a short line on a map that connects yesterday’s plantations to today’s pollution. From forced labor to forced exposure, Black communities still bear the burden of pollution and environmental injustices rooted in slavery and systemic racism. This multimedia storytelling series traces that unbroken line—revealing the past, exposing the present, and charting a path toward a brighter tomorrow.
