Bullard Center Environmental & Climate Justice

About This Collection

The Robert D. Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice at Texas Southern University was launched to address longstanding issues of systemic inequality and structural racism that cause disproportionate pain, suffering and death in Black and other people of color communities.

Today, environmental justice is a headline—registering on the radar of the media, green groups, health, civil rights, human rights and racial justice organizations, social media networks, academic consortia, and educational institutions.  Before environmental justice movement burst onto the national scene it was commonplace, and a generally accepted norm by the larger society, government and industry that steering pollution to poor and people of color communities and away from white and affluent communities was no big deal. For African Americans and other people of color it was a big deal, and they began to wage a frontal assault on environmental racism and began demanding environmental justice for all.
