A Benton Harbor Story follows decades of disinvestment, failing infrastructure, and state emergency management that set the stage for yet another water crisis in a predominantly Black Michigan city. Echoing the crisis in Flint, Benton Harbor’s story shares how residents fight for safe water, accountability, and a voice in their own future.
