David Fullerton reflects on what life was like for many families moving out of Foote Homes Public Housing projects before the demolition.


WOW --- allow me to illustrate the depth of the real problem here: The Foote Homes Public Housing lawn was always mowed down to the quick for decades ---- it caused dusty conditions when it was dry, and massive flooding and run offs whenever it rained ---- and of course, this disturbed the contaminated soil several feet down, especially with on going standing water several feet deep right next to every single building, which also caused black mold to infiltrate the entire complex. A video I made of one residence had black mold on nearly every ceiling in their apartment, especially in the air vents ---- and that same resident also had been digging up the soil for both their indoor plants and also for planting a vegetable garden outside, and they were also broken out in massive whelps all over their body. So to say that no one is affected by contaminated soil or black mold poisoning is a lie. Many other residents are suffering from the same fate in absolute silence, perhaps extremely afraid to speak up due to retaliation from MHA, whose already rolling out their statement of denial and accountability --- Oh, we did not know it was contaminated, but now that we do know, we want to get out ahead of it and solve the problem ---- a problem well known for well over a half century, as there are several toxic waste dumps all over Memphis, especially low grade nuclear waste, as one of those dumps is now leaking in another part of town. Now just allow all this information to soak in and fester in your brain for a while, then perhaps later on, you will finally become pissed off because your tired of being pissed on here in Memphis, Tennessee, 24/7.
