In April 2014, the city of Flint, Michigan switched their water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River and nine months later, city officials admitted that Flint’s new water source was contaminated with lead and other toxic chemicals. The impact of this decision on residents’ health resulted in a national examination of the political, social, and economic situations that contributed to Flint’s contaminated water. Four students in Deborah Shaller’s English 102 class (Natalie Goffney, Jennaliese Lu, Emma Peak, and Meredith Wood) with assistance from Librarian Joyce Garczynski have a created a resource guide about the Flint crisis that provides background information on the city of Flint, analyses of what caused the crisis, the health and social effects of the water, how the government has responded, and what the future holds for Flint.
