Building manure-based power plants in rural areas would expose blacks and poor people to arsenic and other pollutants, the NC NAACP contends. ""Everyone wants jobs, but you have to be against a job that on the back
end may bring disease," said William Barber II, president of the state
NAACP. "I guarantee you if they attempted to put it in a suburban
community or a higher-income area, it would be an all-out fight against
it." Read the story.

Reverend Doctor William Barber II
- President of the NC NAACP
'We' Is the most important word in the social justice vocabulary. The issue is not what we can't do, but what we CAN do when we stand together. With an upsurge in racism/hate crimes, criminalization of young black males, insensitivity to the poor, educational genocide, and the moral/economic cost of a war, we must STAND together now like never before.'
