Covering the Earth: Lead Wars, The Politics of Science, and the Fate of America’s Children

Distinguished historian David Rosner (Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health) will give a talk drawn from his new book, *Lead Wars: The Politics of Science and the Fate of America’s Children*. Rosner will discuss the controversial opinion by Maryland’s Court of Appeals that considered whether researchers at Johns Hopkins University’s prestigious Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) engaged in unethical research on 108 African-American children in the service of lead abatement research.
