Shannon welcomes Candy J. Cooper and Marc Aronson to discuss their book, Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint, Michigan, Fought for Their Lives and Warned the Nation. In 2014, as part of a plan to save money, government officials decided to switch Flint, Michigan's water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months, many residents broke out in rashes. Soon, 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. The residents later discovered the water had been poisoning thousands of people.
