93: It's Deeper Than Just Tuskegee - Did You Hear About St. Louis w/Damien D. Smith

Episode 93  /  07.05.2020  /  68 min

Episode Details

Remember those trucks that use to ride through our neighborhoods spraying "pesticides"- turns out Big Momma was right. It wasn't pesticides the government was spraying it was cancer-causing chemicals and black bodies were the test subjects. 

This episode discusses what happened in a St Louis community and how the government used us as test subjects AGAIN. The government has admitted its actions here yet neither compensation nor reparation has been introduced.

Listen to actor and film-maker, Damien D Smith, discuss his new documentary Target St Louis Volume 1 and the horrible things they did to us.

Follow Damien and learn more about his film on their website (https://4910rosalie.com/) and make sure to engage with him on social media IG @4910rosalieprod.
