Poor Black Children Purposely Exposed to Lead to Study Poisonous Effects

It’s easy to believe lead paint issues are a thing of the past especially since the EPA banned the use of lead paint in 1978.

But that doesn’t mean that there still aren’t millions of properties that haven’t been painted since 1978 which continuously expose folks.

Hopefully, it will help prevent a catastrophe like this...

In what is being called a contemporary version of the horrific Tuskegee experiment, a prominent Baltimore medical institute has been accused of  enticing poor black families with small children to move into lead-tainted homes during the 1990s to study the poisonous effects of lead paint.
