I recently had the opportunity to visit Norco, Louisiana, a city in the heart of so-called "Cancer Alley," a region in the United States with some of the highest rates of cancer.  This episode tells the tragic history of Norco as well as showing what it looks like today. I have made this episode as a way to bring these injustices to your attention.   
If you or someone you know is facing an injustice or a challenge that others need to know about, please comment below and contact me. I'd love to make a segment to bring that to the attention of the world.  I would like to thank the Louisiana Bucket Brigade for showing me around Norco and telling me the history of the area and bringing the tragedies to my attention so I can educate and inform others.   
Below are my references that I have used to make this , in addition to the narrative shared with me by Sheila of the Bucket Brigade.  This episode is the first in the new 'It's Not So Late Show' series: Changemakers, a series dedicated to showing individuals, companies, nonprofits and other forces making a positive change in their community.
