The Human Right to Water in Marginalized Communities in the United States

law.georgetown.edu - April 2013

Each year, Georgetown University Law Center’s Human Rights Institute conducts a human rights fact-finding mission. The 2012-2013 mission topic (chosen by a student committee the previous academic year) is “The Human Right to Water in Marginalized Communities in the United States.” The mission is designed and led by students participating in a year-long practicum course on fact-finding methodology taught by Rachel Taylor, the Institute’s Director. In January 2013, students traveled to Detroit, Michigan and Boston, Massachusetts to conduct interviews with people affected by or knowledgeable about the economic inaccessibility of water.
