But the 70-year-old retired nurse can vividly remember the sight of people from outside this tiny Black community in Shelburne discarding and piling up unsorted industrial, medical and residential waste just half a kilometre from her house on Clements Street.
Although the site was permanently closed in 2016, she can still picture the town workers plowing and burning the mountains of garbage and smell the stench of the dump fire that she grew up with.”
Compare the Star headline to the SLA slogan and note the environmentalist tone is again increasingly reminiscent of 60’s/70’s “Radicals.”
