A leading medical research institute in Baltimore stands accused of intentionally allowing black children, some as young as 12 months, to become increasingly poisoned by lead as part of a study conducted during the ’90s. The Kennedy Krieger Institute constructed experiments meant to address the chronic problem of lead poisoning for poor children in the city, seeking to measure the efficacy of lead removal procedures in low income areas. Unfortunately, the study authors chose to place defenseless African-American infants and toddlers knowingly into housing that was not up to code regarding lead paint and dust contamination in order to do so. A class action law suit filed on Thursday against Kennedy Krieger seeks justice for these unethical methods.

Fuck.

For those who say racism was all over after the 1960s.  Yeah.  No.

I have never heard anyone say that.^ Racism is STILL not over. This is fucked up.
