Love Canal Pt. 2 - Surviving Tragedy
Summary
In Part 2 of our Earth Day special, we're returning to Niagara Falls, NY, where residents of the idyllic-sounding Love Canal community confronted tragedy. Last week, we talked to toxicologist Stephen Lester, who helped the residents study Love Canal when the government refused to help them. This week, we're talking to Luella Kenny. She's a former Love Canal resident who lost her son after he was born with health problems due to environmental pollution. Luella turned her grief into determination, dedicating herself to a life of activism. She's committed to making sure no one else gets sick from corporate irresponsibility and government obstruction. Guest hosted by Brian Pietrus!
