Crosswinds: Change

On this week's show, we'll continue with the podcast mini-series Crosswinds from the University of Virginia's Repair Lab and producer Adrian Wood. The show looks at the impact of coal dust pollution on Black neighborhoods in Virginia through the lens of environmental racism. In this episode, we'll listen to how the looming gentrification of one community might impact the pollution.
