King Talk: Not too far from Dow Chemical’s plant the sanitized text of the roadside historic marker announces Rev. Robert Morrison set up a church here in 1889. The town named after him, Morrisonville, is exists no more, only its cemetery remains. Morrisonville started forming around the 1870s by former slaves freed from a plantation near Plaquemine. The small town and its predominantly African American residents were relocated a hundred years later after the Dow Chemical Company vinyl chloride factory polluted their wells. Stretching between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, this 80 mile (130 km) long chemical corridor is now knows as Cancer Alley.
