Wilson, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland who holds a doctorate in environmental health, said environmental justice is a social movement, and that if concerns are not addressed and questions are not answered, sit-ins might be the solution.
“You cannot assume the government is going to do the job you're supposed to do,” he said. “It's your story. You have to use your own voice.”
The grassroots group Protecting Our Indian River, which recently appealed a special use permit to convert the former Vlasic pickle plant near Millsboro into a chicken processing plant, and the Socially Responsible Agricultural Project invited Wilson to Millsboro Nov. 5 to outline what environmental justice means, what locals can do and how residents can ensure that a health-impact study is conducted before the plant is up and running.

This whacko is just another government funded community organizer. Anytime that you hear the phrase "social justice" bend over and grab your ankles. I heard this idiot speak about a month ago. It was the biggest load of racially biased crap and junk science that I heard in years. How could this fool get hired in a tenure track position. Don't answer that, I know the answer.
Kiss your future job goodbye.
