Hollywood: Legacy of a Memphis Dump
Special | 27m 8sVideo has Closed Captions
A half-hour discussion that explores the lasting impacts of the North Hollywood Dump.
For decades the North Hollywood Dump was where Memphis's garbage ended up, whether that was household trash or industrial waste from nearby factories and manufacturers. In the 70s and 80s, the old dump became the area's first Superfund site. More than 30 years since the cleanup started, questions of environmental justice, and how a neighborhood recovers from long term damage are still being posed.
