Thesis Statement/Research Question:

How does environmental racism manifest in the South Bronx, and what are the interconnected historical, social, and environmental elements that contribute to these disparities? Moreover, how can a comprehensive understanding of the South Bronx case inform broader initiatives for environmental justice in New York City?

This web-case delves into the pervasive issue of environmental racism, a deeply ingrained and systemic problem that disproportionately affects minority populations in the vibrant and diverse landscape of New York City. Focusing on the South Bronx as a poignant case study, we explore the historical, social, and environmental factors that contribute to the profound inequalities and consequences experienced by its predominantly Black and Hispanic residents.
