A small community in the US state of Alabama is protesting the dumping of millions of tonnes of coal ash at a landfill site not far from their homes.
And because the area has a largely African-American population, the issue has become entangled with US race relations.
The people of Perry County told Al Jazeera’s Cath Turner about their concerns.
