Glen Ford, a co-founder of the Black Agenda Report - writes about the deliberate efforts by the nuclear power industry to build new reactors in poor black communities desperate for jobs. As Ford points out, "corporate promoters are already re-reving their propaganda machines to sell Blacks on nuclear power with the same jobs-creaation argument they pushed three decades ago. Nuclear companies have been flying Black and brown delegations to visit happy neighborhoods around power plants in France." Ford, the godfather of black journalism, recalls how 30 years ago Westinghouse advertised on a syndicated television news interview program he then co-owned and hosted called America's Black Forum, believing that "jobs-hungry Black folks would serve as a counter-point to the long-haired white kids and tree-huggers that the media caricatured as the core of the environmental movement".
