1. Because of racial inequality some people had to live in worse conditions because of non-stop construction. Subsidized neighborhoods and dealing with poor conditions because of growth. Industrial growth and the environmental backlash because of that and they forced colored people to work in that.

2. In the Ted talk from last class it discussed the social economic classes impacted the environment and creating further inequality with living conditions. The people who were segregated against had worse living conditions overall because of this. There's no reason for it to be unequal and no reason for the living and working conditions to be treated this poorly, it seems intentional and racially motivated.

2. A related example is the Flint, Michigan water crisis, where a mostly Black community had unsafe drinking water for years. Both examples show how race often determines who has access to clean, safe environments and who is left exposed to harm.

2) an example of enivormental inequality would be how the areas in the cities with the poor people tended to reside would be the parts were the weather would get the hottest due to the lack of vegitaion protecting from them.

• The government put more effort into providing safe housing and good living conditions for white workers, but minority workers were left in unsafe and overcrowded environments.

• Minority workers were stuck in places near toxic shipyard industries - they were exposed to pollution in the air, water, and food.

2) An example from previous lectures/readings of environmental inequalities was how lower-income areas were subject to not having as much access to energy compared to more urban or high-income cities. Even though these poorer areas aren't using as much energy as the richer ones, they are the ones who have to deal with the consequences of using too much energy.

2) In London in the 19th century it was a very similar situation regarding germ theory and class rankings. The immigrants and lower class families lived in cramped spaces with waste filled water, and still worked the hardest and were not only discriminated against, but also blamed for the illnesses and un-sanitariness. This relates to the racial inequalities in this WW2 time period in Richmond.

2) Another example is when minorities were forced to work in silver mines, suffering from mercury and led poisoning.

2. One other related example of environmental inequalities were a part of the Ted Talks we watch in class on Wednesday because the Ted talks talked about how places in Africa don't have certain access to things and opportunities such as reliable energy.

2) A related example of environmental inequalities from lecture that corresponds to these examples is in the TED talk we watched that discussed the lack of green space available to minority groups in comparison to predominantly white communities. These examples connect as together they show that in both modern statistics and historical cases, white communities are located in areas with less industrial pollution, and minority groups in places with less quality of life.

2) One other example would be redlining districts having to do with 'green space' and eco friendly opportunities- only for certain groups of people

2.) One example of environmental inequalities from the previous readings was the TED talk about energy consumption in cities. The video mentions how minority concentrated areas also happened to be areas with higher temperatures and environmental issues.
