“The link between race and waste-able urban space was made clear by 1968 city report which referred to Bayview-Hunters Point as San Francisco’s“dumping ground”. The report referred not to the shipyard’s toxic landfills, the auto-wrecking yards along the waterfront, particulates from the aging power plant, or any of the other heavy industrial operations in the area, but to the public housing residents who were, by that time, largely African-Americans (San Francisco, City and County 1968).” – Lindsey Dillon, “Race, Waste, and Space: Brownfield Redevelopment and Environmental Justice at the Hunters Point Shipyard” 1213
