In this episode, Ken and Deborah continue to address the re-narration of the PCB
history as they contradistinguish fact from fiction.
They explain how the PCB landfill legacy is relevant to everyone because it is part of a crucial turning point for the nation, a watershed that has set precedents which continue to affect economic development, environmental protection standards, and environmental civil rights policies.
They fact-check statements in the recent PCB film titled: “Our Movement Starts Here” and give detailed context to back their positions.
Ken and Deborah recognize that from the beginning of this long PCB saga, the battle to protect Warren County has been a battle for the truth played out through the media.
This battle for the truth is no different today, but the stakes are higher than ever now that the legacy of the PCB environmental justice history is tied not only to disproportionate impacts from pollution, but also to climate justice, and to how we all face increasing environmental stressors and disasters caused by man-made pollution.
