Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha will give a book talk and signing for "What the
Eyes Don't See," about the Flint water crisis. Join The Detroit
Writing Room for an eye-opening book talk by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha on
Nov. 13 from 6:30-8 p.m.
"What the Eyes Don't See" is a firsthand, fast-paced account of the
Flint water crisis through the eyes of Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the
pediatrician who discovered elevated lead levels in Flint children and
ultimately alerted government officials and the public about the Flint
water crisis.
At the book talk, you'll hear her story of how she stood up to
government officials who dismissed the crisis and how she and a small
team of crusaders finally got the government to pay attention and take
action.
Dr. Mona is now the founder and director of the Michigan State
University and Hurley Children’s Hospital Pediatric Public Health
Initiative, a model public health program created to mitigate the
impact of the crisis.
Each $10 ticket to the book talk will go to the Flint Kids Fund at the
Community Foundation of Greater Flint. The Flint Kids Fund benefits
Flint children who are facing ongoing and longterm health and
development challenges. Donations support efforts to mitigate the
toxic stress on children and families created by the crisis.
"What the Eyes Don't See" will be available to purchase at the event
for $28. A portion of book sales also supports the Community
Foundation of Greater Flint.
