Love Canal: The Story Continues
by Lois Marie Gibbs
This 20th Anniversary revised edition is a continuation of the saga beyond the 1981 relocation of residents from Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY. Lois Gibbs' account of this toxic nightmare now includes the containment and resettlement of Love Canal and also describes how she founded the Center for Health, Environment and Justice, formerly known as the Citizen's Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste. Lois has inspired thousands with the retelling of her story and has helped build a national network of environmental justice advocates. Her story is a testament of the power of one person to change the course of environmental policy across the country. (223 pages)
