What does it take to confront generations of environmental racism and win?In this episode, Senior Attorney Chandra Taylor-Sawyer of the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) pulls back the curtain on what it really means to fight for environmental justice in the U.S. South. From zoning decisions that quietly turn Black neighborhoods into dumping grounds, to federal rollbacks that threaten the very civil rights tools that communities rely on, Chandra explains how injustice is built and how organized communities can dismantle it. She shares her journey from North Carolina to national leadership, the creation of SELC's Environmental Justice Initiative, and the urgent battles unfolding right now to protect civil rights regulations, defend bedrock environmental laws, and challenge discriminatory permitting practices. Chandra also highlights SELC's groundbreaking storytelling project, “Plantations to Pollution,” which traces how historic disinvestment shapes present-day environmental harms and how communities are rising to demand a different future.This episode is both a warning and a rallying cry. Even as federal protections are dismantled and civil rights enforcement is weakened, communities still have powerful tools - public comments, citizen lawsuits, organizing, data collection, and collective pressure - to fight for the healthy, thriving environments that they deserve.If you care about justice anywhere, but particulatly in the South, this conversation will inspire you, ground you in the realities of the struggle, and remind you that change happens when communities refuse to be silent.Resources: Southern Environmental Law Center Website: https://www.selc.org/Plantations to Pollution Project:  https://plantationstopollution.selc.org/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

Send us a textMary Ann Sternberg has spent twenty years challenging the idea that the River Road between Baton Rouge and New Orleans is nothing more than rows of noxious chemical plants interspersed with 19th century plantation houses, so in this episode, we dig into its past and present. Mary Ann begins by orienting us to the geography of the River Road and the region's indigenous inhabitants. She describes the arrival of European settlers, which included an influx of Germans in the early 1700s. We talk about the role of the Mississippi River in the daily lives of people along the River Road and the development of early agriculture. She talks about the Slave Revolt of 1811 (also called the German Coast Uprising) and where visitors can learn more about that tragic event, as well as which plantations best incorporate the history of enslaved people into the stories they tell. We touch on the history of Canary Islanders and Cajuns who settled in the region, as well as the Jewish community in Donaldsonville. She describes the transition from agriculture to heavy industry, then we finish with a few tips about visiting the River Road.

Aujourd'hui, nous allons voir ensemble comment planter un rosier afin d'embellir votre extérieur. Et si on parle du rosier aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas sans raison, c'est surtout qu'en ce moment, on trouve des rosiers à racines nues disponibles en jardinerie. Mais savez-vous qu'on ne plante pas au même moment les rosiers à racines nues que les rosiers en pot ?Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Episode 242 is about putting ploughs into the ground, how the rural areas of much of the country was experiencing something of an agricultural revolution. It's rather a fascinating tale, because there are tremendous contradictions in what we're going to talk about this episode. As usual, there we will need to combine a global story with our local story —without doing so would be to stunt our awareness of the strands and tendrils that spread and connect. By the 1850s, Great Britain was manipulating trade and military as well as political power as reciprocating elements. This is a technique adopted by pretty much every empire since before Carthage. Political influence was used so as to extend and secure free exchange, in Britain's case commerce and anglicisation, spread political influence and welded alliances. As Lord Palmerston so aptly pointed out “…It is the business of Government to open and secure the roads for the Merchant…” Antiquated regimes were its enemy and foreign tariffs were its enemy, as anyone knows, the greatest enemy of free trade are tariffs. Empires were broken, the gouty and outdated Chinese, the religion-strangled Turkey, innumerable sheikdoms, sultanates and chieftancies were drawn into the invisible British empire of informal sway. When merchants manage affairs instead of men with guns, it's harder to pin down the essence of power — and also the dangers. The results of this grand vision were not encouraging by the 1870s and the Victorians were less sure of their panacea for both Asia and Africa. Among the ancient and invincibly conservative Confucian and Islamic rulers, no effective westernising collaborators had been found. The Tai'ping rebellion in China and the growing chaos in Muslim states appeared never ending. It was the United States that was gobbling up immigrants — most of Britain's emigrants went there, and the Victorians bought and sold more there than in any other single country. It had dawned on the British political elite that their commerical experience impressed a single portentous fact — that their most successful trading associations with the exception of the Indian Empire, were with Europeans transplanted abroad. They accounted for around 70 percent of all her investment overseas. The white communities in the temperate zones had the outlook and the institutions favourable to progress which the Asiatics and Africans seemed to lack. They offered customers with European tastes and money to spend. Mutual self-interest with whites of their empire meant private business of Great Britain commingled freely with that of Greater Britain and the once-colonial societies of the New World — the Americans and many in South America too. At the same time, the colonists were growing more bitter about Downing Street control and self-government appeared one solution. The aim was to avert the loss of more colonies and more American Wars of independence. So by the 1870s, confederated Canada, responsibly governed Australia and the Cape were regarded as constitutional embodiments of collaboration between British and colonial interests — all working at their best. The number of trading stores in the Transkei quadrupled to a few hundred, and all of this meant that there was a major qualitative shift in the cumsumption patterns of Africans. New permanent wants replaced needs, metal was now preferred to traditionally crafted pots and baskets, the cow-hide kaross was replaced by the Witney blanket, ploughs and all manner of tools flooded into these developing farms. Around South Africa, energy seemed to be surging. Take the highveld for example. The sour veld of the Harrismith district to be precise. Largely used for summer grazing, the farmers here often moved their herds into Natal every autumn. Below the Berg as they put, OnderBerg. Underberg.

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its sensors can help robotics companies reach their safety goals — with a solution that is both better and cheaper than popular LIDAR technology.

In Plantation Worlds (Duke UP, 2024), Maan Barua interrogates debates on planetary transformations through the histories and ecologies of plantations. Drawing on long-term research spanning fifteen years, Barua presents a unique ethnography attentive to the lives of both people and elephants amid tea plantations in the Indian state of Assam. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, nearly three million people were brought in to Assam's plantations to work under conditions of indenture. Plantations dramatically altered the region's landscape, plundered resources, and created fraught worlds for elephants and people. Their extractive logics and colonial legacies prevail as durations, forging the ambit of infrastructures, labor, habitability, and conservation in the present. And yet, as the perspectives of the Adivasi plantation worker community and lifeworlds of elephants show, possibilities for enacting a decolonial imaginary of landscape remain present amid immiseration. From the margins of the Global South, Barua offers an alternative grammar for articulating environmental change. In so doing, he prompts a rethinking of multispecies ecologies and how they are structured by colonialism and race. Maan Barua is University Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Cambridge and author of Lively Cities: Reconfiguring Urban Ecology (University of Minnesota Press, 2023). Maan is an environmental and urban geographer whose research focuses on the economies, ontologies and politics of the living and material world. Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, development studies, hope studies, and ecological anthropology.

On this episode of The Wandering Road, we sit down with Jennifer who has encountered the unexplained in some of the South's most haunted places — and lived to tell the tale.As a child, she visited the infamous Nottoway Plantation, where an innocent exploration turned into a chilling brush with something unseen. Years later, a seemingly ordinary night out at a New Orleans bar took a terrifying turn when she stepped into the bathroom — and realized she wasn't alone. And during her college years, the house she rented became home to more than just her… as a friendly but watchful “grandma” spirit made her presence known.Join us as we unravel her eerie encounters — from grand plantations to shadowed bathrooms to the quiet corners of a haunted home — and explore what it's like to live among the spirits that linger just out of sight.Support the showSOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @TWRoadpodcastIG: twroadpodcastWant to be a guest or share your paranormal experiences?

Slavery in Louisiana - a Visit to Whitney Plantation In today's episode, we learn about slavery in Louisiana. We visit Whitney Plantation, located in Wallace, LA 40 miles West of New Orleans. The Whitney is the only plantation whose primary focus is on the slaves who worked, lived, and died along this stretch of the Mississippi River. My guest today is Joy Banner, Director of Marketing at Whitney. Joy is also a native of the nearby community and is a descendant of the slaves at Whitney. On today's show, you'll learn... About the people who were kidnapped, sold into slavery, and came to work at the Whitney and other plantations along River Road. You'll meet some of the slaves and hear their surprising connections to modern day New Orleanians. You'll gain insight into the conditions they endured, and what plantation life was like for the enslaved. Most plantations along River Road were sugar plantations, so you'll also learn about the process of making granulated sugar on a plantation. "We ask African Americans to get over it, but we don't really understand what the it is.”  - John Cummings, owner of Whitney Plantation Resources Whitney Plantation - located in Wallace, LA 40 miles West of New Orleans.

“P” is for plantations. In the seventeenth century the term “plantation,” which formerly referred to any colonial outpost, evolved to refer specifically to large agricultural estates whose land was farmed by a sizable number of workers, usually enslaved persons, for export crops.

In 1607, after launching a failed rebellion in Ulster against the English, Hugh O'Neill and other Irish nobles are forced to flee Ireland, and their lands are confiscated. In response to the revolt, an insidious narrative about Irish people emerges in Tudor England, describing them as ‘caterpillars' and ‘barbarians' who needed ‘civilising'. In the wake of the development of the Ulster Plantation, a group of London merchants establish The Honourable Irish Society to colonise County Derry, renaming it County Londonderry in an ode to their origins. How did the city's 17th century history shape its role in The Troubles? And what's the difference between plantations in Ireland and plantations in the Caribbean? Listen as William and Anita are joined once again by Professor Jane Ohlmeyer at Jaipur Literature Festival to discuss English imperialism in Ireland in the early 1600s. _____________ Empire UK Live Tour: The Booze & Brews live show is going on a UK tour!

In this episode, Divya interviews Usman Ashraf, a PhD student at the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Sciences at the University of Helsinki. His research focuses on forest governance and the complexities of the implementation of development policies in Pakistan. This discussion centers around Usman's report on Pakistan's ambitious "10 Billion Tree Tsunami" project, titled "Participation and Exclusion in a Mega-Tree Planting Project in Pakistan." The conversation explores how this massive reforestation initiative, aimed at combating climate change, has inadvertently disrupted the lives and livelihoods of the nomadic herder communities in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Usman explains how the long-standing relationship between Pashtun landowners and the nomadic goat-herding communities has been disturbed by government incentives to plant trees, fundamentally altering these traditional dynamics. This episode goes beyond academic discussion to provide a deep dive into the real-world implications of climate mitigation projects on marginalized communities. Usman's ethnographic insights reveal how large-scale plantation projects, often driven by political motives, can have significant ecological, social, and economic consequences. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of such initiatives in the Global South, emphasizing the need to consider both ecological and socio-economic factors to ensure that development projects are genuinely sustainable and equitable.

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I (Oxford UP, 2024) tells the story of the troubled accession of England's first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605). Contrary to traditional assumptions, James's accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James's reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred. Here the book offers a fresh look at James and his wife Anna, suggesting a new interpretation of their characters and qualities. But the Jacobean era was not just about James and his wife, and Regime Change includes a host of historical figures, many of whom will be familiar to readers: whether Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, or the Scots who filled James's inner court. The inside story of the Jacobean court also brings to life the wider politics and national events of the early seventeenth century, including the Gunpowder Plot, the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia, the Plantations in Ulster, the growing royal struggle with parliament, and the doomed attempt to bring about union with Scotland.

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I (Oxford UP, 2024) tells the story of the troubled accession of England's first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605). Contrary to traditional assumptions, James's accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James's reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred.

The Mpox outbreak was declared a public health emergency in August 2024. Since then, more than 29,000 cases and 738 deaths have been reported across 15 Africa Union member states, according to the Africa Centre for Disease Control (Africa CDC).Despite some progress, such as the delivery of 200,000 vaccines to the DRC, challenges remain in getting the vaccines to the most affected communities. The outbreak has also evolved from a health crisis into a wider issue affecting businesses and livelihoods.Alan Kasujja speaks with BBC Africa Health Correspondent Dorcas Wangira and Monique Gieskes, Managing Director of Plantations et Huileries du Congo (PHC), the DRC's largest industrial palm oil producer with over 10,000 employees.

En Malaisie, le gouvernement souhaite mettre en place « une diplomatie de l'orang-outan », un plan présenté par le ministre malaisien des Plantations le 8 mai dernier et qui se veut similaire à la « diplomatie du panda » de la Chine. Plus précisément, le gouvernement malaisien souhaite offrir des singes à ses principaux partenaires économiques et notamment aux pays importateurs d'huile de palme. L'industrie de l'huile de palme est souvent pointée du doigt pour favoriser la déforestation, elle-même responsable de la disparition des orangs-outans. De notre correspondante en Malaisie,Au nord de l'île de Bornéo, dans la réserve naturelle de Semenggoh du Sarawak, un groupe de touristes guette la silhouette d'un orang-outan. Dans les arbres, une fourrure rousse se distingue dans les feuillages « Je pense qu'elle est en train de fabriquer un simple nid, pour se reposer. Elle a commencé par casser les branches, les feuilles, et elle s'en fait un nid », explique le guide. Avec le projet de la diplomatie de l'orang-outan du gouvernement malaisien, ces touristes, tout comme d'autres, pourraient voir cette espèce dans des zoos des pays importateurs d'huile de palme, plutôt que dans leur habitat naturel.À lire aussiReprise de la «diplomatie du panda» entre la Chine et les États-UnisPour Michelle Desilets, la directrice de l'organisation Orangutan Land Trust, basée en Grande-Bretagne, la mise en place d'une telle politique par la Malaisie serait un véritable trompe-l'œil sur la conservation des singes. « Ce ne serait pas une bonne idée d'envoyer des orangs-outans hors de Malaisie, vers d'autres pays. Encore plus si c'est pour persuader d'une manière ou d'une autre ces pays à considérer la Malaisie comme engagée dans une démarche de conservation et d'huile de palme durable. » Pour rappel, la Malaisie est l'un des principaux producteurs au monde d'huile de palme.Pour la directrice de Orangutan Land Trust, le gouvernement malaisien n'est pas sérieux sur son désir affiché de protéger l'espère, car si c'était le cas : « Il soutiendrait beaucoup mieux les mesures de conservation de l'espèce dans le pays, in situ, où ces singes vivent. Deuxièmement, le gouvernement montrerait un véritable engagement en faveur d'une culture d'huile de palme durable justement. Ce qui veut dire que l'huile de palme soit au moins exempte de déforestation. »À lire aussiRDC : au coeur de la déforestationÀ cause de la déforestation, les orangs-outans sont menacés d'extinctionLa volonté du gouvernement malaisien de mettre en place une diplomatie de l'orang-outan se fait entendre alors que l'Union européenne interdit depuis peu les importations de produits issus justement de la déforestation. La déforestation qui menace les primates en danger critique d'extinction : « La Malaisie est le deuxième producteur mondial d'huile de palme. L'expansion des plantations de palmiers à huile dans la forêt tropicale a entraîné une perte d'habitat pour des espèces en danger critique d'extinction, comme l'orang-outan, explique Heng Kiah Chun, responsable de campagne chez Greenpeace Malaysia, et rappelons-le, l'orang-outan n'est qu'une partie de la faune sauvage de la forêt tropicale ! »Heng Kiah Chun rapporte qu'il ne faut pas forcément assimiler huile de palme et déforestation : « Le problème, ce n'est pas l'huile de palme, c'est la déforestation le problème. L'huile de palme peut être cultivée sans détruire la forêt tropicale si l'industrie accepte de se réformer ! Si la Malaisie s'engage à préserver la biodiversité, à mettre en œuvre une politique de non-déforestation, c'est beaucoup mieux. » Il martèle : « La diplomatie de l'orang-outan ne peut pas résoudre la crise de la déforestation. »Et le temps presse, selon les ONG : moins de 100 000 orangs-outans seraient encore présents sur l'île de Bornéo.

In nineteenth-century Santiago de Cuba, the island of Cuba's radical cradle, Afro-descendant peasants forged freedom and devised their own formative path to emancipation. Drawing on understudied archives, this pathbreaking work, Patchwork Freedoms: Law, Slavery, and Race beyond Cuba's Plantations (Cambridge UP, 2022) unearths a new history of Black rural geography and popular legalism, and offers a new framework for thinking about nineteenth-century Black freedom. Santiago de Cuba's Afro-descendant peasantries did not rely on liberal-abolitionist ideologies as a primary reference point in their struggle for rights. Instead, they negotiated their freedom and land piecemeal, through colonial legal frameworks that allowed for local custom and manumission. While gradually wearing down the institution of slavery through litigation and self-purchase, they reimagined colonial racial systems before Cuba's intellectuals had their say. Long before residents of Cuba protested for national independence and island-wide emancipation in 1868, it was Santiago's Afro-descendant peasants who, gradually and invisibly, laid the groundwork for emancipation. Kishauna Soljour is an Assistant Professor of Public Humanities at San Diego State University.

William Wells Brown peeked from around the tree. He'd never seen anything like the ritual before his eyes—a fiery cauldron, folks talking in tongues, and dancing beneath the midnight moonlight. These spiritual ceremonies remind us of the importance of trusting ancestral wisdom. _____________ 2-Minute Black History is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

What is going on JHP family! This episode is a little different than the norm. The topics for this episode are culture driven from recent events going on in this complex world we live in. But first we start with Tim giving us a work update which leads the team to discuss which it better, being paid salary or hourly? Tyler Perry and the entertainment empire he has built. We take a look at Cam Newton being attacked, who was right and wrong in that situation. Should people be allowed to have weddings at former slave plantations, and if you were invited would you go?

In 1717, the Council of Trade and Plantations received "agreeable news" from New England. "Bellamy with his ship and Company" had perished on the shoals of Cape Cod. Who was this Bellamy and why did his demise please the government? Born Samuel Bellamy circa 1689, he was a pirate who operated off the coast of New England and throughout the Caribbean. Later known as "Black Sam," or the "Prince of Pirates," Bellamy became one of the wealthiest pirates in the Atlantic world before his untimely death. For the next two centuries, Bellamy faded into obscurity until, in 1984, he became newsworthy again with the discovery of his wrecked pirate ship. In Daring Exploits of Pirate Black Sam Bellamy: From Cape Cod to the Caribbean (The History Press, 2023), historian Dr. Jamie L.H. Goodall unveils the tragic life of Bellamy and the complex relationship between piracy and the colonial New England coast. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The cultural memory of plantations in the Old South has long been clouded by myth. A recent reckoning with the centrality of slavery to the US national story, however, has shifted the meaning of these sites. Plantations are no longer simply seen as places of beauty and grandiose hospitality; their reality as spaces of enslavement, exploitation, and violence is increasingly at the forefront of our scholarly and public narratives. Yet even this reckoning obscures what these sites meant to so many forced to live and labor on them: plantations were Black homes as much as white. Insightfully reading the built environment of plantations, considering artifact fragments found in excavations of slave dwellings, and drawing on legal records and plantation owners' papers, Whitney Nell Stewart illuminates how enslaved people struggled to make home amid innumerable constraints and obstacles imposed by white southerners.  In This Is Our Home: Slavery and Struggle on Southern Plantations (UNC Press, 2023), Stewart demonstrates how homemaking was a crucial part of the battle over slavery and freedom, a fight that continues today in consequential confrontations over who has the right to call this nation home.
