A Community against Lead Air, Metal, and Earth
-
- Documentary
Lead poisoning is an epidemic that has been ravaging communities of color across the country (and the world) for a hundred years. The story of how it spread to our own backyards has little to do with the individual responsibility of homeowners and parents. This is a story about capitalism, the politics of science, and the subtle (and overt) workings of environmental racism.Mentioned in this Episode:- OCEJ: www.ocej.org- History of Lead Project: http://historianrubio.com/soilleadhistory/- For complete list of references: http://historianrubio.com/episode-one-a-community-against-lead/Music by Kevin McLeod: - Truth in the Stones- Ave Marimba- Soaring- Late NightKevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Music by Weapons of Mass Creation: - Manzana Venenosa
