"Minorities Along Great Lakes Face High Asthma Rates"

"At a pediatric clinic located in one of the poorest sections of Buffalo, 7-year-old asthmatic Victor Small sits with his mother Laticka.

The hood on his winter coat is pulled over his head, and as he fidgets with his black skeleton gloves, he begins to talk about what it’s like when he has trouble breathing.

“There’s something is wrong with my smelling,” he says."

Angelica A. Morrison reports for WBFO/Great Lakes Today January 16, 2018, as part of a series on environmental justice in the Great Lakes region.
