January 11, 2021 By Jon King / jking@whmi.com An online event later this month will feature a discussion with the pediatrician many people credit with helping expose the Flint water crisis. Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha’s “What the Eyes Don’t See,” is an account of her discovery that Flint’s children were being poisoned by lead from the city’s drinking water. She was one of the first to question if lead was leaching from the city’s water pipes after an emergency manager switched the city’s water supply to the Flint River in 2014. The book was selected as Michigan Humanities’ choice for the 2019-20 Great Michigan Read, which aims to bridge communities around a common conversation. Area residents will have two opportunities to participate in the Great Michigan Read through the Howell Carnegie District Library.
