Jackson, MS: Another Black city, another water crisis
Manage episode 340977653 series 3394317
The water emergency in Jackson, Mississippi is reminiscent of Flint, Michigan.
The emergencies were caused by different failures - but the core issue is the same: the disinvestment of the majority Black city with similar poverty rates.
In this episode we learn about water challenges in Jackson going back years. We talk to families to find out how they are surviving without the basic necessities. We also learn how white flight decades ago contributed to today’s emergency, and explore how the water crisis could prevent the city’s future growth.
