This may complicate matters, but I often include a discussion of environmental racism in my Intro unit on institutionalized discrimination.  The film "Green" from Two Birds Films* is a good discussion-starter for this topic as is Bullard's book Dumping in Dixie.  Green is especially timely now since it deals with environmental problems in "Cancer Alley",  Louisiana.

i was wondering if anyone had an example of institutional discrimination that was thought to be effective in getting students to grasp the idea. if so, would you be willing to share it? i have a couple, but would like to get some new ideas.
 
thanks
