The day was hot, but so were the people. It was September 15, 1982; the time for civil disobedience was at hand. Warren County citizens were fired up because Governor Jim Hunt was using military force to bring in the first of 10,000 truckloads of toxic PCBs to a landfill built just above the county’s groundwater. The multiracial coalition of citizens and supporters kept up their heated campaign throughout the six-week PCB rucking operation. They marched into history their human right to protect themselves from the harm caused by a toxic dumpsite doomed to fail, and their non-violent resistance sent up an inspirational warning flare to citizens across the state and nation who were and would ever be fighting on the front lines against toxic aggression.
