Q&A with Catherine Coleman Flowers
Catherine Coleman Flowers
In her new book “Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret,” Catherine Coleman Flowers refuses to conceal the toxic reality of environmental injustice in the U.S. She experienced it first-hand in her home of Lowndes County just down the road from Selma, Alabama where families’ health and safety is endangered by inadequate sanitation infrastructure. It’s a problem felt in America’s “Black Belt” as well as other rural communities around the country.

Wastewater is the infrastructure crisis 'people don't want to talk about'


Apr 9, 2021 6:42 PM EDT
If you want an example of how infrastructure failures directly affect the lives of people in this country, you don’t have to look far.
