 African American Registry: Sociologist, with a grand agenda, W.E.B. Du Bois
Although Du Bois took an advanced degree in history, he was broadly trained in the social sciences; and at a time when sociologists were theorizing about race relations, he was conducting inquiries into the condition of Blacks.
Du Bois' Black Nationalism took several forms--the most influential being his pioneering advocacy of Pan-Africanism, the belief that all people of African descent had common interests and should work together in the struggle for their freedom.
Du Bois was a leader of the first Pan-African Conference in London in 1900 and the architect of four Pan-African Congresses held between 1919 and 1927.

As with the Hinkley case, Grand Bois concerns a utilities (oil and gas) industry, the relationship between state and federal governments, and a small, relatively powerless community that eventually made use of the media and the courts to effect environmental change for the better.
More importantly, for Grand Bois residents, the issues were about human health and community viability, which took the form of environmental values.

 DOE - Fossil Energy Techline: DOE Supports Air Quality Tests at Oil Field Waste Treatment Facility
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy has awarded a $200,000 grant to Louisiana to study the air emissions at an oil field waste treatment facility near the community of Grand Bois, LA. The study is part of a state-wide comprehensive review of oil and gas exploration and production waste regulations.
Not only will it provide information on air emissions from a waste treatment facility for Louisiana's comprehensive review of oil and gas waste regulations, it is also intended to help address the concerns of Grand Bois residents about possible hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon emissions from the facility.
Specifically, the project will study whether hydrogen sulfide is being formed in the land treatment - or "landfarm" - cells operated by the facility and to determine whether the manner in which the facility is being operated affects the release of hydrogen sulfide from these cells.

Albert Malvoisin was overwhelmed with confusion; for the unfortunate Rebecca had been confined in a remote and secret part of the building, and every precaution used to prevent her residence there from being known.
The lower part of this ample apartment was filled with squires and yeomen, who made way not without some difficulty for Rebecca, attended by the Preceptor and Mont-Fitchet, and followed by the guard of halberdiers, to move forward to the seat appointed for her.
