Catherine Flowers and Philip Moses

"America's Dirty Secret Continues" will provide an update on the intersection of climate change, race and environmental justice in Lowndes County, Alabama. The irony is that although this historic county is located along the Selma to Montgomery march trail, residents still live with raw sewage in their front yards, back yards, and sometimes entering their homes. With lead poisoning in Flint as well the eminent arrival of the Zika Virus to the United States, we are at a crisis level that will surely grow. Also evidence continues to mount about the possibility of third world parasites along one of America's most celebrated symbols of freedom, the historic voting rights march trail.
