10 Days in Watts

Protecting the Watts Community from Dangers of Lead

PhD student Danielle Hoague feels it is her responsibility as a scientist to be an advocate for the people of Watts. She believes her work testing for lead throughout Watts is supporting the claims community members have been making for years. Danielle visits Navaline Smith, a former Ujima Village resident who was forced out of her neighborhood after tests proved the site to be contaminated.
