Eve’s Garden
by Heart of Camden and Scribe Video Center Precious Places Community History Project
South Camden may not normally evoke images of verdant foliage and bountiful vegetable gardens. With an assortment of industries, an incinerator, a sewage treatment plant, and toxic areas including two federal Superfund sites, the neighborhood is severely affected by pollution. Respiratory and other health ailments are widespread, and neighborhood groups have decried the environmental racism that has rendered their very air a dire health hazard. Yet, as this documentary shows, Eve's Garden is part of a long history of neighborhood activism to make the streets of South Camden healthier and more beautiful.
