Imagine what the lifelong prospects for the Flint kids are going to be.
Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Newark, New York, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C all have high lead levels in their drinking water. These cities are often associated with minority violence but what if its all a direct result of high lead levels and the cities / states failing the vulnerable people that live there.
