Air date: Nov 08, 2020

In episode 8 of “Facing Race,” we examine land ownership in Washington. Laws used to make it impossible for people of color to buy property, and that affects land equity and wealth today. Dr. Mustafa Santiago Ali, vice president for environmental justice, climate and community revilatization at the National Wildlife Federation, shares solutions for environmental racism, which is the disproportionate impact of environmental problems, like pollution, on communities of color.
