The History Of Newark

The City of Tampa, FL, is a growing city that is known for its opportunities and has a diversity of ethnicities. Meaning that people can come from anywhere and live a life they want to. However, the City of Tampa, FL, has violated the citizens of Tampa, by taking away culture and traditions in communities. These owners have put in a great deal of time and hard work keeping their property up, as well as keeping their tradition and culture. It isn't fair that generation of ancestors work hard for their family businesses, churches, homes and schools to be taken away by the Government; therefore, I believe the people should have the opportunity to prove they can afford their property and they should be allowed their culture and traditions.

In Marietta, Ohio, a steel plant called Eramet has been pumping the air full of a toxic chemical called Manganese. The chemical is known to cause health problems, particularly damaging to neurochemical and motor function. When a study confirmed that manganese concentrations in the area were much higher than

People hear about issues and events that happen in America every day. Unfortunately every issue or problem does not receive the necessary media attention. One of the roughest cities in the United States, Detroit, Michigan is being affected by pollution. Detroit Wastewater Treatment Facility is the largest source of discharge into the river with 47 billion gallons of diluted sewage water dump into the Detroit River. 10.1 millions of toxic substance was dumped in the great lakes (Matthews, 2013.para.7). Due to the unstable environment Asthma, Cancer, and birth defects are at its peak. This is because of the factories built in the city next to the lower class neighborhoods. There has been cases where a local neighborhoods has been affected by

Just recently, the American Lung Association of Florida awarded Hillsborough County with an “F” grade for air pollution. According to an article in the Tampa Tribune, Tampa had a dozen days last year where the ozone concentration reached “unhealthy” levels, or above 100 parts per billion. The federal threshold for safe breathable air is 75 parts per billion (Tampa Tribune, 2014). Some days there will be what seems to be what looks like haze over Tampa, it is actually the smog from idling cars and transportation systems. With the construction on I-275 lasting for more than 6 years, Tampa commuters have seen their share of accidents, traffic jams and construction detours. All of these factors leading to hundreds of commuters idling on the roadways and their vehicle pumping carbon dioxide directly into the air over the bay. Air pollutants are just the start for pollution challenges in Tampa Bay. As reported by Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful Organization, they removed more than 60,500 pounds of litter, trash and debris from 75 or more locations in Hillsborough County along the different waterways (Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful). Some of the debris listed included shopping carts, beer cans and bottles, and

Here the authors address an important solution; allow residents to hire their own experts from the community who are well versed in delivering the proponents message to the residents in a manner that does not exclude anyone from the process. The landfill began operating in 2006, as the proponents deemed there was not any substantive opposition to the project through official Environmental Impact Assessment (Deacon & Baxter, 2013). Deacon and Baxter in this case set out to understand the role and relation between power and participation as it relates to procedural environmental justice in order to challenge understanding of environmental justice and cease production and reproduction of environmental injustice. The residents protested as they felt they were being sacrificed for economic growth, “the landfill has become a symbol of the slow decline of the community of Lincolnville” (Race and Waste in Nova Scotia, 2006). They call this environmental racism, which is the racial discrimination in the enforcement of environmental rules and regulations, targeting minority communities for the siting of polluting industries or the exclusion of people of color from public and private boards, commissions and regulatory bodies (Race and Waste in Nova Scotia,

107) Also, it relates back to my main theme because I can use this to know the politics that comes with environmental justice issues such as knowing which questions to ask, such as who, what, when and where environmental hazards get dumped on them. Also, I can actually see and understand how ideas that I learned in my classes like “not in my back yard” are used in case studies, not just as slogans in social

The UCC’s connection with Newark’s African-American community leads them to become a prime suspect in the instigations of the Newark riots. The UCC was seen as an opposer to the government’s policies and therefore the UCC was present lead them to become primary suspects in the instigation of the riots. The attack on the organizations is seen as Senator Jackson and Mr. Alderman interrogated Miss Levins. The dialogue says the following : “ Miss Levins. Yes. He [ Mr. Kennedy] asked me to make up some fliers to be distributed sometime that afternoon. I asked him exactly what he wanted on the fliers, and he said, "Anything pertaining to a rally." Mr. Alderman. Did he ask you to make the flier calling a meeting or a mass rally at 7 :30 that. Night

There are three side to every story: his side, her side, and the truth. Sometimes the truth gets twisted, but through the different people’s perspectives one can understand how a turn of events occur. There a three pivotal events that are a part of Newark’s ongoing history; they are the Cholera epidemic that killed tons of people, the destruction of high rise public houses, and the Summer Riots that occurred in 1967. Through various people’s perspectives we can understand how individuals of Newark’s past society endured the struggles that they were faced with.

Some may object that the changes occurring in Newark are signs of gentrification, and not revitalization. Gentrification is merely the act of changing the society and sometimes even displacing residents, resulting in isolation and depression. The reason why some people believe that gentrification is taking place in Newark is because of the racial tension. In the article A Revival in Newark, but some worry it ‘Not For Us’, it is written that “ Newark’s new chapter also has a racial tinge: The city has been dominated by its large African-American population after decades of white residents leaving for the suburbs, but many of the people drawn by the city’s resurgence are white.” Although most of Newark is populated by African-Americans, many whites are appealed by our city’s renewal by making our community better. This statement may include how different races/ethnicities are attracted to Newark, but it doesn’t mention how families get isolated because of the changes in the society. Because of this important detail, it makes a clear difference that Newark is going through revitalization. Because of the fine line between, revitalization and

Pezzullo investigates in this article the strategies of environmental justice advocates in Warren County, North Carolina. The rhetorical efforts shown by these advocates vigorously urged the state of North Carolina to clean up a local toxic landfill caused by a truck illegally dumping oil contaminated with PCBs in the middle of the night.

The majority of Connecticut’s state-lands were distributed before the American Revolution by town proprietors. Those distributed after the Revolution continued to be distributed in the same way and were recorded at the town level. Subsequent conveyances are also recorded at the town level.

In order to share my story I must first mention the work of my mother, María Martínez, for she has played an instrumental role in my life. In the late 1990s, María worked with the Environmental Health Coalition, a nonprofit organization centered around environmental justice, to advocate for the needs of underserved communities by participating in marches, protests, and testimonies at public hearings. After nearly two decades of service, María retired from the Environmental Health Coalition to care for her kids. With my mother now being preoccupied rearing my younger siblings, I have taken it upon myself to continue the legacy of my mother.

Currently, the VP and CFO of the Newark Economic Development Corporation, Kevin Seawright's strength lies in his abilities as an economic strategist. By devising finance and accounting strategies that assist organizations in reaching their goals, Seawright brings about revenue enhancements. He is also an expert at recruiting, retention, negotiation and collective bargaining.

The placement of companies deleterious to the environment and well-being of humans is something that prosperous communities are not quite familiar with; in contrast, it is something well-known to less affluent communities. The imbalance of classification shows a lack of environmental justice in low-income and minority communities. According to the EPA, or Environmental Protection Agency, “environmental justice is the fair treatment… of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies,” (EPA, n.d.). However, the environmental justice, the EPA mentions is not prevalent in communities of color, but rather its counterpart is: environmental injustice. Environmental injustice, or environmental racism, being the excessive placing of perilous waste and contaminating polluters near communities of color (Cha, 2016). Although often overlooked, environmental racism is an extensive problem that negatively affects minority communities in Southeast Los Angeles.
