cases was unusually high. is say, this is deb that lead to me now where it used to be. we were so happy running around the yard, playing ball kickball riding in the little red wagon. we was happy you. you've got to find you all way. you know? because everybody's got home in december 2019, the worst fears were confirmed, the cancer cluster was discovered in their community. the state concluded that the 5th ward, the nearby neighborhood, called cashmere gardens, had higher than expected roots of certain cancers. but they didn't explain what is meant for dante. what are you? we have been suffering. we have lost loved ones. we have lost parents. we have when i was free and we have wealth allowed. some residents here, blame the cancers on decades of possible exposure to korea. so a likely human carcinogen,

a nearby real yard use the chemical mixture to preserve wood for was 75 years. not want to know, is it a lot to say a neighborhood? i want to know. welcome back to them. welcome back. the good thing i have the name, we need to know, what is they paid to when, when a thing for loans travels to houston, texas to follow community search for answers and justice. oriel barbara was diagnosed with suffered your cancer and move 2018 benita check from you. he said 9 chemotherapy treatments and reconstructive surgery on his

esophagus. how would you describe because payment is in mine is for sharing. that's all i can say, and where you set up there and you hear a person say come quick. i feel like i'll, i'm gonna die. i need you here with me. that pretty big lump in your throat. and again, i could change it to give you that power. now, along with what you have his lived in cashmere garden, since he was a child, like i say he was a police officer, so he still has that spunk in him. he just wants to be able to get back to his normal life is hard to see him like bear. he just don't look like himself and yet i just thought i'd try to make sure i see the man that i marry the person that i know. he wouldn't have been man, he had some weight on him that was before the diagnosis. last level.

you were thinking the same new years all along a pitcher for his know you only fit to fall. you can see his ribs. in other words, right? you know, his debt had lung cancer, his cousin died from lung cancer. his uncle's head throat cancer in oliver lived right there. always at his mom's house right there on lavender street for years residence pressured the state to look into why so many people in the community had cancer in 2019 the texas public health department found elevated rates of esophagus broncos larynx and lun transfers in cashmere gardens and the 5th ward, a couple nights ago when i got in from the hospital and i started counting the houses that the people just on my block that have cancer. i had, hey, at cancer, you know, 8 people in one block. and you know, including those that have died from cancer,

you know, so yeah, something is definitely wrong. how many were you in this house? 8 of a one i would my mom. it was an earth. andre worse grew up with 7 brothers and sisters on lavender street. in the 5th ward. yeah. they're the same street where shronda and or yell live wonderful memory. lot of good memories here. lot of good people in the community. lot of love and community. lot of family, you know, family you. everybody was family. bunch of kids, you could hear kids laugh and ron and playing on the bicycles in the wagons. just fun. it get bad out. they everybody start getting sick. this is my sister, cynthia george de one. that's the thief with the lung cancer. this is carolyn horn, cynthia, a year part 2 years and boy. and she passed away when lung cancer also in 2015,

under his eldest sister, cynthia died from lung cancer at 63 years old. 2 years later, her sister carol and also passed away from lung cancer. my sister's wasn't smokers and for them to get lung cancer. they was a smoker. my sister, cynthia, she retired from her job to find out the following year that she had lot kids hard work. her mother figure for us at the my mother passed my sister carolyn, which was next. the next oldest to cynthia. very hard work.

very loving mother and grandmother andries family moved to the 5th ward in 1963. her child at home is a few 100 feet from a rail yard and by railroad giant union pacific from 1911 until 1984 railroad ties and telephone poles were preserved is increased. soon. chris, it is a mixture of hundreds of chemicals, many of them, toxic fumes can irritate the skin and eyes make breathing difficult. this smell was real strong, irritated, throw burned your eyes, smell like talk. and you definitely had to go inside,

but going is i didn't hip it we living in poverty stricken neighbourhood. you know, we don't have ac conditions. we have the little ceiling, fans them up in the attic, that blue to cool air down into the house. me gas, mental air could hardly breathe. like i said, i had balls to come up and my body rushes. i have the marks from scratch. and why do you think your family has been so affected by cancer? because of the cris up because of the christophe? yes, because of it, there's nothing else. there's not to be as if the crystal is the rail york the really hard stop treating wood with creosote in 1984. but now the ground water under more than $100.00 properties near the site is contaminated with chemicals found in korea. so this is the actual site,

but these are the 110 properties that have grown contamination underneath dr. lauren hopkins, that a community survey in january 2020 to learn more about the people within the cancer cluster. of the 30 households or team surveyed 43 percent reported to cancer diagnosis. the city average 6 percent were able to turn in precisely where the chancellors in the cluster located. we know which census tracks are elevated and the census tracks that are elevated out of the 10 are surrounding the union pacific railroad side. do you think research contamination has anything to do with this cancer cluster? i don't know what is causing the cancer's. we do know that those, those are the kinds of cancers you would expect with exposure to those chemicals on, you know, i think because of all the chemicals that he's been living around,

being a little boy growing up, living around railroad tracks, the air pollutants, the water and stuff all that had a lot to do with this cancer. how does it feel now knowing that you spend a lot of your life growing up in the area where you're more likely to get cancer? terrified, terrified because no one what i know now. and if my mother would have known, she probably wouldn't never bought is here to live. sandra edwards grew up on lavender street next door to andre. she's part of a group called impact performed in 2016 to pressure the state to study the cancer rates in the community. i feel good to hear, man, it's cold. i've done a night. impact is also demanding that union pacific, which owns the real yard address, the pollution in the neighborhoods campus safe. if you just, you're really in a band that you can come out of, i'm not going to, well,

we stayed in lieu of them in san jude that people don't know what is then up to you . i am ready to fight and i am going to fight you to go in the room to i'm game and yeah, better help out on that. no time union pacific made nearly $6000000000.00 in profits 2019. it's one of the biggest railroad companies in the world decrease all thing they couldn't have straight down my street across that track. straight a he was where the paper thing was, where they cookie. so we know when a ryan is out in our neighborhood, is, is, is, is everywhere. in january 2020 sandra spoke at the 1st public meeting about the cancer cluster. since the study was released, it was organized by congress woman, sheila jackson, lee grass, the state to study the cancer routes in cashmere gardens, in the 5th ward in the early 2019. i don't want to pull up bad news, but i do want to say that this is serious. some way i know that we now have in

a big baggy in some way, lao, someone, someone got think of something, but we have all been affected in some way on other bodies. and every now stick together. we are going, i gotta make why everybody is here. well intentioned, to help find out the answer, we've been waiting a long time nationally renowned environmental activist erin brockovich was also there to support the community. so tonight, where everyone is here, could i hear from you? are you frustrated? are you getting answer? who in this room has cancer, or knows of someone that lives here that have cancer? is it normal? i don't know what else we have to do with. and they need to know that the community wants union pacific to clean the contaminated

groundwater clue and compensate people for the pollution in the neighborhood. and my name is barbara. i was diagnosed with lung lung cancer. i'm 2017 i've been treated, i'm in remission. i want to know if there's some kind of funding to help me load. i'm on the loan to love to fade away from the loan. he's fun to help us help us. we are sitting on a client. i work for you. i got to know. i got a guy with the union. pacific representative was at the town hall but left before we could ask or any questions? hey, award it's jason mccloud with paula. so we got her on the phone and we have just been to some of the streets near the site. most of the houses are vacant, just a handful of people still there. if they were talking to, would you tell them it's still safe to live in these homes?

a oil and water experts say that once creosote sink steep into the earth, it's extremely difficult to take out. you pacific is removing only with close to the surface, but leaving the rest behind. one of the things that union pacific had proposed or the korea, so basically just wait and see, let mother nature do her thing. rodrigo can to the environmental lawyer who's advising impact the chemicals and it can actually seep up through the soil and they can come into the atmosphere. and if there's someone living above or recreating above or simply walking on their property, they may be breathing in those vapors. we know this is how the chemicals increase or behave and they haven't done the testing. so to see whether or not that that

mechanism has taken place. according to state records, regulators have known about the contaminated groundwater since at least the 1980s residents we spoke with. so they didn't hear about the contamination until decades later. the state environmental agency in charge of overseeing the site in the state health department both declined or interview requests even though you were on a railroad track now in the fall pace. it was se asia. so much as i said, my father gets seek at 80 something but can't some on counseling. and 2 months later he was gay too. it's a it made me so angry for what the everybody on land street is. i know 5 or 6 family watch. just go is no way

you don't know the thief, you came that made me believe you don't know that you were killing people. they lived there. it is what public community didn't care. they just say, forget fail, them bow across the united states. communities of color are more likely to breathe polluted air than white woods and black residence in particular are the most likely to live near polluting industries and toxic sites. why is it the continued sites are disproportionately founder, communities of color, the historical institutional racism that has come on in this country that has led to sort of the limiting of where black and brown people can buy homes and live. stephen lester, is a toxicologist with nearly 40 years of experience helping people in contaminated communities find answers. it's probably no coincidence that many of these communities, many of these cancer clusters that we see,

many of the industrial clusters that exist in this country today happened to be around. and in the midst of communities of color, we track down some of the men who used to work in the crease of facility at that real yard during the 1960 seventy's and eighty's. how many of you have health problems that you think were caused by crew? so i had it took a tumor. yeah. long lung cancer. i'll find out on the 17 of this month. well i have a prostrate cancer. my. so what was it like working there? terrible smell, smell it when you get a nice man, we go bag along with chris. oh, they're strong. they would burn your skin. you know in the summer time you know via burn on. if it hit your skin, it makes it, it wouldn't make where the water driven warm. it wouldn't mixon without. i've got

to go. but a water fountain entering the water in the water. it was real tone on the ground. when it would rain, you know, the ground knew it would bubble, you know, just like it was, i don't know what we never didn't know what it was. it was like gas. you know, it just, bob all over the yard. you know where chris was running down the side of the yard for one in order to the other, into the railroad tracks and into a neighborhood back. there were the where the houses were, did anyone ever complain and what happened if you did? no, i didn't. i didn't know all we didn't do that. we was on the breathing this in it. no, no, nothing. no. we never know protective gear. no, so no, no, no, because we use the new year. i guess we just had to work in order to support our family. and so they didn't say not. and then i guess we been and then even

actually we didn't know we didn't actually know question, but you know, how many people here think the cancer cluster in this community was caused by chris of contamination? a 100 dual react when you learned about the cancer cluster you, it lives with what we think and after there was enough error that got out there, they added up say the government answers they can't prove was cause the hire marina cancer. here. what do you do next? is no way to solve neighbourhood for jesus and what, nothing else, nothing but the carissa, me i have they come back to say it is not there. you are lying and you're not gonna tell my people there and they got to believe you the state of texas decided not to do an epidemiological study, but could explain what's causing the higher cancer. it's saying it wasn't feasible

. will the people in the 5th ward of cashmere gardens ever find the answers they're looking for? there is no clear way to distinguish what's causing without investing a great deal of money and government stop doing that. and then of course, you have the corporate side of it who's, who's putting pressure on government to say, well, in fact you get less, you're certain that these chemicals are, these alpha comes related to this chemical, the new chant ticket. so it sounds like people are on their own. yes, unfortunately, people are on here. and until there's a change in this country until people stand up and say enough till people get involved and force government to address these questions. people are going to stay on hulu . i

don't know who i am with we want them to put account that we want them to make them me my object and my goal is to get a cancel clinic put in the field more. these people were affected by them. they brought the council to them, they didn't go out and kitch these, they'd an expertise. it's only right for you to bring a signal to them for them to get hill. yeah, that is right. yeah,

yeah. cuz i'm proud of it. i yeah, yeah. you know, i didn't gone on so long gone on to low. so what we're gonna do is, so your empathy is with how we are marilyn i live in may. i don't live in this area anymore. when i came back to fight, because this is a part of my hobble beginning, and you never should forget your humble beginning and nestled mom, he's always say, when you can go nowhere, you can always go home. but definitely home over there any more. just like it's like a dead zone over there is a dead zone over there. and it's just, it breaks my heart, but it makes me angry. it's time for them to make it right. make it right what. what are people in field ward and cast regard? gilba harbor and all these different places. it's time for them to shut up and put up. is the company doing enough to address your concerns? day?

not doing things, sir. they got a hot blood. they have a hotline, they don't you much have a nerve compassion to talk one on one with the people they give us a hotline union pacific didn't agree to our request for non tumor interview. instead they sent a written statement saying important quote, decades of testing. sure. there was no creosote pathway to reach property owners and recent health studies lack scientific testing needed to make any firm conclusions about the cause of their medical conditions. once everything comes out in korea, so is the reason behind is been they can see the toll that it's taken on me if in war. so especially my husband and how, you know, loss of income, increased medical bills, all the pain and suffering, you know, ah, plans that we had to do, things are just on hold right now. are

you optimistic that you ever get answers about what's causing the kids? maybe once we start getting the ball rolling, then yes out, eventually i'll get some answers in our push until i get answers. 2 weeks after we met shronda and her husband oriel died from complications related to cancer. he was 55 years old after royal died, shronda became one of more than a 1000 other residents from kashmir gardens. in the 5th ward filed lawsuit against you to pacific fun, we got together and there's, there's something in common for a year and it was a lot going on. i'm gonna let him get, i'm gonna get what do you feel when you look out across this really are a lot of her pain, a lot of death to the community is just since on calls. you

know, we matter. we matter with serious dorcas days with one man leading the country through us present alice out as los legitimacy. he needs to step out as he retains control through over
