Description : Partnering with North High School, One Omaha, and the Malcolm X Foundation, students in the Law and the Black Community aim to examine the effects of redlining on soil health. To do this, they plan on retrieving, testing, and comparing soil from two different areas in Omaha. This project is educational, as it aims to teach high school and college students the importance of lead and other pollutants in different areas of Omaha. It is also important for the community for more examples of these soil differences to be talked about rather than ignored in the community. BLST 3410.850 P-16
