Researchers actively steered black children into lead-tainted homes for a study

Evidence

So the KKI encouraged landlords of about 125 lead-tainted housing units to rent to families with young children. It offered to facilitate the landlords’ financing for partial lead abatement—only if the landlords rented to families with young children. Available records show that the exposed children were all black. — Harriet A. Washington, A Terrible Thing to Waste, 238
