Mel Chin attacking pollution
"Lead contamination is a problem, like the ground beneath our feet, that's easily overlooked, which is why we must go to great lengths to draw your attention to it." he said in New Orleans recently. "In fact, it is a problem beneath our feet. It is in the soil, and in the worst circumstances, in the blood of children and adults."
Children in New Orleans "are so highly exposed (to lead) and as a result have all the kinds of problems that we see in the city — learning problems ... and violence," said professor Howard Mielke of the Tulane/Xavier Center for Biomedical Research.
Chin held a press conference about the project inside an art installation called Safehouse at KK Projects, an exhibition space in six formerly abandoned structures in New Orleans' St. Roch neighborhood. Photo~Arthur Simons

Good move by Obama on the redirect!

Oh yes, I am pretty tickled as well that the campaign said nothing of crashing the Red Cross' Server (in 15 minutes of donations) during the show! Other, perhaps more fortitudinally challenged, organizations would have made Big Hey out of such a thing, eh?
GeauxBama!
