The Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, Inc. in collaboration with Texas Southern University, will host the Sixth Annual HBCU Climate Change Conference, September 20 – 23, 2018. The purpose of the conference is to bring together HBCU faculty, students, researchers, climate professionals and environmental justice and coastal community residents impacted by toxic facilities and severe weather events related to climate change to bridge the gap between theory and the experiential realities of climate change.
