Bridges Academy Lecture Series: Environmental Justice in the Flint Water Crisis

Location

Degheri Alumni Center, Room 120

Free

Join USD McNair Scholar Jane Henderson for a look into the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Over the past three years, Flint is but one of the newest sites of an instance of environmental injustice and man-made environmental crisis. As a low-income, majority Black city, Flint represents the ways that class, race and political power converge with environmental issues in a deep way. This lecture will approach the issues in Flint from an environmental justice perspective in order to delve deeper into the causes, consequences and solutions to the crisis, as identified by residents of Flint themselves.

For ages 55 and up.
