Latest Developments
“What is the Quality of the Water You Consume?”
The LTSPFBA volume’s Environmental Protection Sector (Chapter) requires that we explore the topic question and become intimately familiar with the nature of our water supply and the utility firms that provide it (until we assume responsibility for that task) as we gain control of our areas of influence.
Consequently, the LTSPFBA IT urges Black Americans to obtain fundamental knowledge about methods for assessing our water and the related utility firms that provide it by considering a March 2025 report from Prof. Manuel Teodoro entitled, Wisconsin Waterworks Excellence Project: Wisconsin Water Utility Report Cards. Mastery of the information provided in this report will enable Black Americans to avoid a repeat of the types of water quality crises experienced in the not-too-distant past in Flint, Michigan and Jackson (MedgarEversville), Mississippi that were so harmful to us.
Important Information

Contrary to popular opinion, Black Americans (Afrodescendants) are not powerless! As demonstrated over the past three years, we have the power to transform our communities (areas of influence) in a most fundamental and significant way by simply cleaning up. Consequently, we invited every able bodied man, woman, and child, to start where we are, do whatever we can, to make the 2025 NATIONAL BLACK CLEANUP DAY (NBCD) a monumental, and historic success!!! While the results were not as robuust for 2025 as for earlier years, those who worked on the NBCD produced and enjoyed wonderful outcomes!!!
