11:44Now PlayingA water crisis is being used to justify taking control from Black communities.
A North Carolina bill tied to water demand from data centers would allow counties to condemn property in majority-Black counties without local approval. Mayor Mondale Robinson warns that the legislation strips local control and uses water scarcity as justification for taking resources. He calls it a civil rights issue and a dangerous precedent that removes protections from Black communities. With a vote approaching, the stakes are immediate and deeply consequential.
