The EPA Administrator Is Leading With Environmental Justice

For the PBS series Peril and Promise: The Challenge of Climate Change, Frank talks to new EPA Administrator Michael Regan about environmental justice. He is the first Black man and graduate of a HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) to run the EPA.

Environmental racism is a personal issue for Tuskegee University student Jayden Graham-White, as well. She shares with us the issues that have defined the Turkey Creek Community in Gulfport, Mississippi where she grew up. The history of the area dates back to freed slaves and is a devastating example of how racism, climate change, and environmental justice collide.
