Who are the politicians and associations involved in the creation and endurance of sacrifice zones? In short, how did we get here?

Speaker 3 [00:00:21] So much of media in the U.S. is white-centered both in terms of who is making the news, but also in terms of who is being written about and how they are being written about. [11.0s]
