Who We Serve


Communities


CCRAB promotes environmental justice and public health through research, education, and citizen science. We serve environmental justice communities, which are low-wealth and predominantly Black communities that have been disproportionately impacted by longstanding racially-uneven patterns of industrial development, highway expansion and port development. The vibrant communities of Rosemont, Accabee, Union Heights, Chicora-Cherokee and Liberty Hill are older, established neighborhoods where many residents reside in family homes. These neighborhoods are the locations of successful social and civil rights organizing, historic Black home ownership and community pride and fellowship.
