The River in Her Veins

Send us a text

Erma Leaphart recounts her childhood spent along the Detroit River and how this shaped her sense of connection to and eventual advocacy for the entire Great Lakes water system. She  illuminates how, in the face of climate change and the numerous challenges it poses for the Great Lakes, we might persevere together in hope and in recognition of the water as kindred, as the very blood coursing through her veins--and our own.
