SUMMARY:Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint\, Michigan\, Fought for Their Lives and Warned the Nation
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Wednesday\, November 18 @ 4 – 4:30 p.m. EST \nGrades 9 – 12 \nIn 2014\, Flint\, Michigan\, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up\, then abandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money\, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months\, many residents broke out in rashes. Then it got worse: Children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses. Others died. Citizens of Flint protested that the water was dangerous. Despite what seemed so apparent from the murky\, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city’s faucets\, officials refused to listen. They treated the people of Flint as the problem\, not the water\, which was actually poisoning thousands. Poisoned Water shows not just how the crisis unfolded in 2014\, but also the history of racism and segregation that led up to it\, the beliefs and attitudes that fueled it\, and how the people of Flint fought – and are still fighting today – for clean water and healthy lives. \n

SUMMARY:Displaced at Home: An American Tale
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Joan Hilty\, editorial director at Nickelodeon. \nJoin Sophie Yanow (The Contradictions)\, Mike Hawthorne (Happiness Will Follow)\, and Kiku Hughes (Displacement) as they discuss stories that tackle the hard truths.
