| Summary: | Environmental activist and sociologist Robert Bullard was born on December 21, 1946 in Elba, Alabama. He received his B.A. degree from Alabama A&M University in 1968, his M.A. degree from Atlanta University in 1972, and his Ph.D. degree from Iowa State University in 1976. While assisting his wife in a trial involving environmental racism, Bullard developed an interest in what would become known as environmental justice. Bullard became a pioneer of the cause through the 1970s and 1980s. Extending the cause to community groups across the nation, he was instrumental in President Clinton's signing of Executive Order 12898, the first legal document to define environmental justice. In 1994, Bullard was named the director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University and the Edmund Asa Ware Distinguished Professor of Sociology. He has authored more than fifteen books, many of which are considered standard texts in the field of environmental justice.
