Warren County African American History Collective

Collecting, Preserving, & Sharing the Histories of Warren County, NC
LEARN ABOUT OUR MISSION & VALUES

PRESERVING OUR LEGACY

Warren County, NC, is the birthplace of the environmental justice movement.

​In 1982, Warren County residents mobilized against the establishment of a PCB toxic waste dump in the mostly-Black community of Afton. The protests, known as the PCB Protests, prompted a landmark national study of hazardous waste landfill siting in low-income communities of color and began a global movement against environmental racism. Warren County residents have continued to organize for environmental justice in the decades since the PCB Protests.
