Robert Bullard

Environmental activist and sociologist Robert Bullard (1946 – ) became Director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark-Atlanta University in 1994. For his continued research on contemporary cases of environmental justice and his active presence in the community, Bullard has been called the “Father of Environmental Justice.” He is a pioneer in the field and helped to organize the 1991 National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit, the first meeting of its kind where various minority groups could discuss the problems associated with environmental justice. He was also instrumental in President Clinton’s signing of Executive Order 12898, the first legal document that defined the need for environmental justice in the United States. Link: http://www.idvl.org/sciencemakers/Bio34.html
