Wow. I have several family members that have died, passed away of cancer. Some of them are still living. One of my family members, she's on the list for heart transplant, two of them. One family member on the west bank of the river from Lucy in Edgard. He just had his lungs. He had a lung transplant about a year ago. My mother, she passed away. A lot of people going to dialysis centers.

A lot of people have brain cancer been high. Prostate cancer is high throughout the parish, not just on the west bank of the river. Chloroprene is in the whole parish.

I grew up on East 30th Street. I've lost everyone in my family because of it. And I'm the oldest living relative on my father's side at the age of 67 due to Dupont-Denka. Wow.

I remember growing up on East 30th Street. And you remember the days we could sleep with our windows open? Well, a lot of mornings we woke up with this awful smell in the house. We didn't know what it was. Oh, it was just a release from DuPont. We didn't know what chemical we were breathing while we were sleeping. It was in the bed sheet. It was in your closet, in the clothes in the closet.

My mom couldn't get it out the house if she aired the house out all day long. We smelled that all day long. We went to school with it on our uniforms.

The five parish area that's called Cancer Alley, it is now 92% black. Wow. And it's got about 250 petrochemical plants in that one little 80-mile area of that river, the river between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. That's called Cancer Alley.

Well, I don't know. That's going to depend largely on the people here. If we let them have their way, they will kill us all. We will die here. We are now trying to regroup so we can find out exactly how we have to deal with this situation. What is obvious to us is the destruction. The government has now officially abandoned us, has officially thrown us to the wolves. That's what they've done.
