Swindled: A Black Woman's Guide to Freedom

Lois Gibbs' son Michael developed epilepsy, asthma and a urinary tract infection after attending one of the schools in love canal. Lois was not even aware that her new home had been built on top of a chemical waste dump. Hooker Chemical Company did not comment publicly on the situation, other than claiming that the problem was not their responsibility. Many residents suspected that the local government was turning a blind eye to the crisis because it did not want to ruin the region's relationship with Hooker Chemical. Support for Swindled comes from Blind Plea, a new podcast from Lemonada Media.
