About this listen

A woman with a clipboard.

A legal clerk who found the wrong file.

A man who sent a fish to a lab.

This week: the places America poisoned and then tried to forget. A neighborhood built on 21,000 tons of chemical waste, sold to a school district for one dollar. A town that's been on fire underground since 1962. A military base where up to a million people drank contaminated water for decades while a Marine's nine-year-old daughter died of leukemia and nobody told him why.

Seven sites. Sixty years. The same pattern every time: the people closest to the danger had the least power to stop it, and accountability came late, if it came at all.

The ground beneath us is not neutral.

Neither is the silence about what's in it.
