Show Notes for NG Traveler-AIRSLA "Prohibition" by Isabel Ravenna. During Prohibition the U.S .government added toxins to industrial alcohol, knowing it could kill. The result? A chemical war that targeted the poor and reshaped public trust. By the end of Prohibition in 1933, more than 100,000 died from imbibing tainted booze. The public however, knew what the government was doing. AIRSLA This podcast is produced by Audio Internet Reading Service of Los Angeles (AIRSLA).
