There is a black community in virtually every city in the United States. This historical separation of the races has led to a disproportionate number of pollution sites being located in the vulnerable black communities. This represents environmental injustice. Blacks are seeking mitigation of environmental hazards in their communities and such solutions to pollution problems represent environmental justice. Environmental justice is the equal protection of all people with respect to environmental issues.

The roots of environmental justice can be traced back to the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the grassroots activism of communities disproportionately affected by environmental hazards. It is rooted in the idea that all individuals have the right to a clean and healthy environment, regardless of race, income, or location. The environmental justice movement seeks to address the unequal distribution of environmental benefits and burdens, advocating for fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people in environmental decision-making.
