Former residents of a low-income, majority-Black housing development in St. Louis, Missouri, are seeking restitution from the US Army over a Cold War-era testing program they say made them ill.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Army sprayed chemicals around the Pruitt-Igoe housing development as part of secret Cold War-era testing. Chester Deanes, left, and Ben Phillips lived in the development and say the chemicals, which the Army maintains were nontoxic, have made people sick.
