The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ) was founded in 1992 in collaboration with community environmental groups and universities within the region to address issues of environmental justice. The DSCEJ Community/University Partnership, under the auspices of Dillard University in New Orleans, provides opportunities for communities, scientific researchers, and decision makers to collaborate on programs and projects that promote the rights of all people to be free from environmental harm as it impacts health, jobs, housing, education, and general quality of life. |

Deep South Center for Environmental Justice
A major goal of the Center has been the development of minority leadership in the areas of environmental, social, and economic justice along the Mississippi River Chemical Corridor. The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ) has become a powerful resource of Environmental Justice Education and Training.ˇA major aim of the Center has been the development of curricula that are culturally sensitive and tailored to the educational and training needs of the community. Over the past seventeen years, the Center has made great strides in the accomplishment of these goals.ˇWe have observed the incredible metamorphosis of local grassroots community residents into national and international leaders, advocates, and spokespersons for environmental justice.
