Flint
Is this America?
February 8, 2016
Donated water from all over the country being delivered to Flint, Michigan:
“That’s amazing, I’m proud of us, human beings. I was not liking humans for a while there!”
Almost in the same breath, she asks:
“Is this America? I am stupefied that I’m not in, like, Ethiopia or somewhere. You’re talking about clean water.”
She believes her sons are experiencing developmental issues and skin rashes due to the lead in the drinking water that has gone undetected for so long.
NPR will conduct a longitudinal study/reports on the effects of lead in Flint’s water system.
