April talks with advocates Renada Harris, Kim Washington and Diane Smith Drake of the Brown Grove Preservation Group. They discuss environmental racism, how the community of Brown Grove is confronted once again by it with the encroachment of Wegman’s proposed 24-hour operational distribution center and what actions they are taking to stop it. Their voice takes on big business, local county and state government to advocate for the preservation of the natural wetlands, unmarked ancestral graves, history, beauty and well-being of the residents and lands of Brown Grove in Hanover County.
