HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Professor, author, and advocate Dr. Robert Bullard says he came into the field by accident through a boots-on-the-ground field project he assigned his grad students in the late 1970s. The task was to look at where landfills were located in the city of Houston. The result was a study that found over 80% of all garbage disposed in Houston was dumped in Black neighborhoods, even though only 25% of the population at the time was Black.
