Acknowledgments
I would like to extend thanks to a number of individuals who have helped me along this journey. I am grateful to the residents of Hickory Woods for their encouragement and for allowing me to tell the story of their neighborhood. I extend thanks to members of the Hickory Woods Concerned Homeowners’ Association for the perseverance and encouragement they show in the fight for their community. Thank you to members of grassroots organizations who are working for environmental justice in Western New York and elsewhere.
I am grateful for the guidance I have received throughout my academic career, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, the University at Buffalo, and now Canisius College. Special thanks to Donald “Chip” Hastings, Helen Lewis, Brent Marshall, Tamara Mix, and Sherry Cable for their friendship and support throughout my graduate work. I am grateful for the guidance and support in this research from Michael Farrell, Chris Mele, Errol Meidinger, and Jorge Arditi. To my colleagues and students at Canisius College, your steady support in this endeavor is wonderfully appreciated. Thank you for helping me sort through the details of the story and focus on what I really wanted to say about Hickory Woods.
