Two of the principal authors, Drs. Robert D. Bullard (Clark Atlanta University) and Beverly Wright (Dillard University), of the 2007 "Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty 1987-2007" report will serve as panelists in this session. Dr. Bullard will present the study findings and policy recommendations. Dr. Wright, a native of New Orleans and a Hurricane survivor, will present the case study of toxic wastes, race, and post-Katrina New Orleans. Sheila Holt Orsted (whose Dickson, Tennessee community is profiled as the "poster child" for environmental racism in the report) will join the panel to put a human face on the report.
