“In July of 1975, national attention was drawn to the city of Hopewell Virginia when news broke alerting the public to the poisoning of workers at a factory that manufactured an insecticide called Kepone. The story ballooned into an environmental crisis when authorities found the James River and many of its species of marine life saturated with the chemical.” The Legacy of Kepone, Virginia Humanities, Retrieved February 18 from: https://www.virginiahumanities.org/2016/12/the-legacy-of-kepone/
Perhaps because the crisis occurred in the 1970’s we now have a “just right” historical perspective that’s not too old, and not too new, affording us the ability to analyze the case from many perspectives. In addition to the above quoted article, additional reference articles are included here.
