Residents in Michigan's Benton Harbor -- a predominantly Black city -- have been advised to only use bottled water for things like cooking and bathing due to lead contamination. The warning comes just a few years after Flint's water crisis was discovered. But this is not a new discovery. Benton Harbor has detected elevated levels of lead in its water supply for years. John Yang reports. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
