Sacrifice Zones: The 48217

Emma Lockridge is known as the photographer of the Boynton neighborhood. She can be found walking around the community always with a camera slung over her shoulder. Emma takes hundreds of pictures of her community along with the many polluters that surround it. Most notably, what she consider’s their backyard polluter, a refinery. In 2008, the refinery went under an expansion and bought out the homes in the community between Boynton and the refinery. Boynton wasn’t offered the same deal. In turn, Emma begins to organize the community, in an attempt to fight back.
