Mossville, LA - 2/5/2016 - Dr. Wilma Subra, a chemist, microbiologist, an activist who works with poor communities such as Mossville and defends them against environmental injustice, stands in the road leading to the Mossville Cemetery, located off Old Spanish Trail. The cemetery still serves as an active burial site for the community. The SASOL corporation has agreed to preserve the cemetery and keep access open for residents who wish to pay their respects. Nearly all the residents of Mossville -- founded by an ex-slave in 1790 and one of the first settlements of free blacks in the South -- have moved away after accepting buyouts from Sasol. Once a homeowner leaves, their property is quickly cleared to make way for the ongoing expansion.
