United they stand

Article Abstract:

The people of Forest Grove and Center Springs, LA, joined together to block the construction of a uranium enrichment plant between their communities. The plant, which was proposed by Louisiana Energy Services, would have produced over 100,000 tons of toxic radioactive waste to be stored on site for more than 15 yrs. The towns' White and African American residents overcame their bias and racist attitudes against each other and formed the Citizens Against Nuclear Trash which succeeded in blocking the proposed facility.
