Asalé Jones ’26 Publishes Opinion Piece in YEPT

In her piece, Asalé states that, “Throughout history and still to this day, communities of color are disproportionately victimized by environmental hazards. They are far more likely to reside in areas inundated with heavy pollution, exposing people of color to a multitude of illnesses and both mental and physical degradation.” The opinion piece delves into environmental racism today as well as the history and timeline of the environmental justice movement.
