Robert Bullard: How Environmental Racism Shapes the US

Clip: 3/3/2020 | 17m 28sVideo has Closed Captions

Walter Isaacson interviews Robert Bullard, the father of environmental justice.

The U.S. is segregated, and so is pollution. These words come from the so-called "father of environmental justice," Robert Bullard. As a sociologist, he has proved that minority communities in Houston suffer most from pollution and has written more than a dozen books on sustainable development, environmental racism and climate justice. He sits down with Walter to discuss his life's work.
