"Fighting for Community Needs: Restoration Advisory Boards."
Wilkerson, J. A. (Spring-Summer) 1994
Race, Poverty, and the Environment 4-5 (4-1): 18-21.
Wilkerson suggests that people of color have borne the
brunt of the pollution, but hold few decision-making
positions in the military base environmental restoration
activities.. She emphasizes detrimental impacts of lack
of participation on restoration boards by people of
color, the need for environmental education and
leadership training in communities of color, and the
necessity for coalition building and community
organization.
