Students Advocate for Equity in Charleston, SC

Fifth grade students in Charleston, SC, spent seven years advocating for a pedestrian path on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and won. Over a million people a year cross the bridge on bikes or on foot creating a connection between two diverse communities. Don Sparks, president of the Charleston Bicycle Advocacy Group, commended the students saying, “I will never again take on an environmental issue without involving young people.”
