Environmental Justice Leaders Hold Press Briefing at the World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa, 2001

The Environmental Justice Movement is confronted with many old and new challenges. The movement has made tremendous gains over the past four decades as documented in Environmental Health and Racial Equity in the United States: Building Environmentally Just, Sustainable and Livable Communities, a 2011 book published by the American Public Health Association Press (APHA) and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Mounting evidence reveals that race and place still matter and impact the quality of life Americans enjoy. Some communities have the “wrong complexion for protection.” One of the most important indicators of an individual's health is zip code or neighborhood.
