This nine-year-old was enslaved in the US. Her story could help stop a chemical plant
The life stories of enslaved people are crucial to a legal battle over a Louisiana petrochemical facility that could triple residents' exposure to carcinogens.
The details of Rachel's existence have been lost to time. But historians say that even at that young age, enslaved children likely would have been expected to work in some capacity.
What we do know for certain is that Rachel passed away before her 10th birthday, thanks to a sobering document uncovered not long ago at a Louisiana archive. It lists Rachel among many others who died while enslaved.
Nearly 190 years later, community members living near the same area where the Buena Vista plantation was once located are fighting the construction of a $9.4bn (£8.2bn) petrochemical plant proposed by Taiwanese industrial giant Formosa - and the document on Rachel is an important find.
It is part of an effort to piece together the life story of Rachel and other enslaved people, and with that information, to strengthen a political and legal case for preventing the facility, named the Sunshine Project, from being built.
Handwritten correspondence from 1832 details the sale of slaves, including a young girl named Rachel, who would have died on the grounds of the Buena Vista plantation in St. James Parish before age 10. The site of the former plantation is located on the same land where Taiwanese industrial giant Formosa’s plans to build a $9.4 billion petrochemical plant equivalent in size to 80 football fields in the region. Local residents fear it could triple their exposure to carcinogens in an area already known as “cancer alley” due to the high concentration of heavy industry.

'Cancer treatment means I'd be well placed as health secretary,' Wes Streeting says
Wes Streeting returned to the Royal Free hospital where he was treated for cancer.
The Shadow Health Secretary described 'one of the most difficult periods of my life'
Labour MP Wes Streeting says undergoing life-saving cancer treatment had left him well placed to become the "patients' champion" as health secretary.
A year after surgery to remove a kidney that had been found to contain a cancerous tumour, he returned to the Royal Free hospital, in Hampstead, to thank the staff who delivered "Rolls-Royce" care.
Six months after the operation, Mr Streeting, MP for Ilford North, was promoted to shadow health secretary and has been tipped as a future Labour leader.

'Cancer treatment means I'd be well placed as health secretary,' Wes Streeting says
Wes Streeting returned to the Royal Free hospital where he was treated for cancer.
The Shadow Health Secretary described 'one of the most difficult periods of my life'
Labour MP Wes Streeting says undergoing life-saving cancer treatment had left him well placed to become the "patients' champion" as health secretary.
A year after surgery to remove a kidney that had been found to contain a cancerous tumour, he returned to the Royal Free hospital, in Hampstead, to thank the staff who delivered "Rolls-Royce" care.
Six months after the operation, Mr Streeting, MP for Ilford North, was promoted to shadow health secretary and has been tipped as a future Labour leader.

As a cancer survivor you are expected to feel grateful: Laura Fulcher's campaign for better care
I was in remission and I expected to feel ecstatic. Instead, I felt alone Ö Laura Fulcher.
She had agonising symptoms for 15 months before she was finally diagnosed with bowel cancer, then received little support after her treatment. So Fulcher set up a charity to help cancer survivors and to campaign for faster diagnoses
When Laura Fulcher went to A&E in 2014, doubled over in agony, she was desperate for answers. She had been suffering from stomach pains and bowel changes for more than a year, with no medical support or investigations. "I overheard a nurse saying there were no 'real patients' in A&E that night,î she remembers. ìI was sent home feeling guilty for wasting their time.î A few months later, a colonoscopy was finally arranged, which revealed an advanced tumour in her bowel. It required invasive surgery and aggressive chemotherapy, leaving her with adhesions: painful scar-like tissue in her abdomen.
