Water Crisis and a Racial Divide
Bobbie Clay first realized something was wrong a few years ago. The water at her Benton Harbor, Michigan, home had started coming out of the tap looking “bubbly and whitish”. When she filled a glass with it, she could see matter floating around inside. “I became very concerned,” she recalled in a recent interview.She wasn’t alone. For years, residents of this small, struggling city in south-west Michigan had been having similar problems.

Muslim Life Post 9/11
In the years since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the nation’s Muslim population has grown to reach an estimated 3.85 million, or a little more than 1% of the U.S. population, according to the Pew Research Center. That is up from 2.35 million in 2007, and the trend is expected to continue, Pew researchers say, eventually surpassing the U.S. Jewish population by 2040. That forecast predates the expected influx of refugees to the U.S. from Afghanistan.

The United Auto Workers, a union that represents more than 400,000 active members, issued a statement on social media calling for the party to allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the stage on the final night of the DNC.
