Huge corporations, locally-owned shops and politicians in Omaha worked together for more than a century to employ a lot of people by poisoning people along the way. Since 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency has been working to help the community as part of a citywide environmental cleanup. However, no single person has been paid any money and North Omaha is still suffering. This episode is a history of lead poisoning in North Omaha.
