The Legacy of Love Canal: an Intimate Conversation with Lois Gibbs
Рет қаралды 2,053
Күн бұрынLois Gibbs was raising her family in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, New York in 1978 when she discovered that her home was sitting next to 20,000 tons of toxic chemicals. That discovery spurred Gibbs to lead her community in a three-year struggle to protect their families from the hazardous waste buried in their backyards.
Assistant Professor John Fiege, host of the podcast Chrysalis, speaks with Gibbs about the legacy of Love Canal and the power of grassroots organizing.
Conversation and event sponsored by the University at Buffalo Department of Environment and Sustainability, Department of Media Study and University Archives.
Recorded Thursday, April 20, 2023 at the University at Buffalo Center for the Arts.

The love canal was definitive but you introduced the future as a movement. A movement is recognized as protest not necessarily taking both sides of an issues facts and perspective.

Chemical industry went out of country. Chemistry class is too hard to study.
