McCastle? v. Rollins Environmental Services, Inc.

McCastle? v. Rollins is a case that was filed on behalf of a community that was located in Alsen (a small community located in East Baton Rouge Parish) against Rollins Environmental Services, Inc., a toxic waste cleaning company. Although the decision in this case allowed the plaintiffs within this community to be certified as a class in pushing their law suit through, thereby reversing the decision that had been made at the trial and appellate level, the case was not reheard in the lower courts. Instead, Rollins Environmental Services, Inc. settled with the plaintiffs outside of court. This case is often cited as one of the pivotal moments in the environmental grass roots movement that has been occurring within community of colors. There is an intersection in which legal rights, community activism, and court decisions come together to protect the rights of a group of people. It deals with a community that is predominately filled with people of color and which is located within what is considered cancer alley (link to other Wikipedia page) in Louisiana.
