143. When MIT & Quaker Oats Tested Radiation on Children
Massachusetts has a shadow on its history, that of the Fernald School in South Boston, an institution designed to provide children with intellectual disabilities skills that they would be able to have a better life. A mission that changed over time, instead of providing skills ans support, the children were treated as lab rats, with some even tested with radiation.
