Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and Sen. Jim Ananich On Living the Flint Water Crisis

Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and State Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich of Flint join Stephen Henderson at a live event at the Detroit Public Library to share their personal stories during the Flint Water Crisis and discuss the challenges and obstacles that still exist in Flint.

WDET’s “Created Equal” Season 2 focuses on the Flint Water Crisis and the elected officials, health care and environmental experts, and citizens who were on the ground from the beginning.

The podcast season is a companion to the book “What the Eyes Don’t See,” written by Flint pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, above, whose research showed Flint children had elevated lead levels in their blood after the switch. The Flint water crisis began in April 2014 when, under the authority of a state-appointed emergency manager, the city of Flint switched its water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department system to water from the Flint River.
