30th Anniversary of Love Canal Declaration

Activist Lois Gibbs returned to Love Canal this morning, to mark the 30th anniversary of New York's declaration of a state of emergency in one of the worst chemical disasters in U.S. history. In August of 1978, Love Canal residents were told to evacuate because toxic waste was seeping into their homes. Today, Gibbs joined other former residents to tour the site where they used to live. Gibbs said that the area is still not livable and tore into a recent study conducted by the state Department of Health. Gibbs still believes that birth defects, cancer and other health concerns of former residents and their families were directly related to the chemical mess at Love Canal.
