It floods everytime it rains in Atlanta. It doesn't make any sense

My dad was basically saying the sewer system still made like it’s not a major city so there’s no where for water to run off.

It is often referred to as the Black National Anthem, the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing” inspires hope and the pursuit of liberty has a unique tie to a Historically Black College and University in Atlanta.

My dad was basically saying the sewer system still made like it’s not a major city so there’s no where for water to run off.

The communities around Proctor Creek in West Atlanta are still dealing with the ramifications of environmental injustice over 100 years later, in the form of recurring flooding, sewer overflows, and outdated infrastructure. These lead to a higher risk of pathogens, which bring disease. The area is also facing new development, gentrification, and lack pf greenspace, increasing the prominence of environmental justice issues.

Mar 15, 2024
This weekend will be the first-ever HBCU college fair in the Bronx. It's all thanks to Willie and Aikisha Colon Foundation. The couple joined the PIX11 News at 4 to explain why it's important for students to attend.
