In this episode of EDS at Union NOW, Dean Kelly Brown Douglas interviews Anna Clark, author of The Poisoned City: Flint’s Water and the American Urban Tragedy, who joined us on campus for a public event on Wednesday, January 30, 2019.

The Poisoned City was selected as the EDS at Union Community Read for the spring 2019 semester. In her book, Clark methodically lays out how embedded racism, wealth gaps, a shift away from democracy at the local level, as well as the targeted neglect of the ties that bind – literally, our urban infrastructure – have resulted in Flint’s black and brown children being poisoned.
