Eboni Cochran and Renee Murphy talk about living in west Louisville in what locals call the “Vulnerable Zone.” The “Vulnerable Zone” aka “Rubbertown” is a mostly African-American community in Louisville, KY, which got its name because of all the chemicals plants that were constructed in the area during World War II.
