Our Story
Our story is one of resilience, resistance, and the right to a healthy future. “Alsen-St. Irma Lee: A Generational Fight for Health, Happiness, and the Right to Environmental Justice” shares our community’s journey from a post-slavery settlement to our ongoing fight for clean air and public health.
​
Created through an intergenerational storytelling project from the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, the film brings together our elders, young people, and advocates to confront decades of industrial encroachment. Alongside Dr. Beverly L. Wright and Quisha Reed-Jones, we honor our history, amplify our voices, and work toward a future where every breath is safe.
