Episode 3: Darrell Dawsey

  • Summary

  • Native Detroiter Darrell Dawsey is a writer and journalist who shares how the State of Michigan gamed the system and lied to Flint residents about their water. Darrell, formerly with the ACLU of Michigan who broke the story concerning Flint's struggle for clean and affordable water, describes how the state moved Flint from the Detroit system and the multiple ways the federal government failed Flint when it was aware of clear and consistent contamination of this city's water. He also talks about how he supported Flint residents in his capacity at the ACLU and his respect for Flint residents who forged an interracial cross-class social movement that brought national attention to their water quality issues, compelled the state to address these concerns, and continues to contend with this struggle until the problems created by the water source switch are resolved.
