Environmental Injustice in Uniontown, AL

May 23-25, 2015

Garry Morgan visited Uniontown, Alabama

upon the request of the Alabama Rivers Alliance 

and the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League.

The residents of Uniontown

have been subjected to injustice

at the hands of the TVA from coal ash disposal,

and suffer from governmental inaction

at Federal, State and local levels.

Government and corporations

are taking advantage of the poor

in this Alabama Black Belt region

which has created a feeling

in the populace of helplessness.

Sewage disposal system has failed

and corruption in the grant process is evident. 

Garry worked with local residents

and other environmental groups 

o stress the importance of open government

in exposing the inner workings

of local governmental activities

at the county and municipal levels.

At corporate and higher levels of state

and federal government,

Uniontown is a classic example

of environmental racism at its worse.

Government at all levels has and is currently

failing the residents of Uniontown, Alabama.

Political-Corporate corruption is evident.
