Critics are calling a proposed energy pipeline project in Memphis, Tennessee "environmental racism." Some landowners and activists say Black neighborhoods are being targeted for the pipeline's construction and they're also concerned the city's drinking water supply could be contaminated. Adriana Diaz spoke to those on both sides of this issue.

With such "neighborhoods" America will not last long.

Stand your ground! This land has been in their family for generations. How many generations of African American families have lost their ancestoral property to companies like this one?!? They 'targeted' this land because they knew the families in this community did not and would not have the legal representation/resources to fight this.
