Robert Bullard is known as the “father of environmental justice” in the United States for his work in the 1970s, which highlights the burden of pollution suffered by minority communities, and his leading role as a voice against environmental racism in the 1980s.
Bullard, who has written several seminal books on environmental justice, spoke to the Guardian about how the civil rights movement has spilled into environmentalism.
