In 2017, the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) initiated the expansion of Highway 84 from a two-lane to a four-lane road. While this project aimed to enhance transportation, it has had devastating consequences for the Shiloh community. Poor planning has led to flooding, the displacement of residents, and damage to homes. The elevated highway now directs water into the community, creating a bowl effect that intensifies flooding during rainstorms.

This episode presents a heartfelt and impactful discussion surrounding environmental justice, land loss, and community activism in Shiloh, Alabama. Guests Pastor Tim Williams and Dr. Robert Bullard share their experiences in combating man-made flooding, addressing environmental racism, and highlighting the importance of community resilience.
