Sign the UCC Petition to End Toxic Racism in Dickson, Tennessee

Posted by Josh Lynch on April 17th, 2008

Sheila Holt-Orsted came to The Dream Reborn to share her story about toxic racism in her hometown of Dickson, Tennessee. Now she needs our help.

It has now been a year since the United Church of Christ released "Toxic Wastes and Race at Twenty." The 2007 UCC report profiled the failure of various levels of government to protect the African American Harry Holt family's in Dickson, Tennessee whose wells were contaminated with the toxic chemical TCE from a county owned landfill.
