Show Notes

On this episode of Pulse of the Bluff, we shine a spotlight on the Inaugural William’s Walk, taking place Saturday, June 14 at Overton Park. The event honors the life of William McConnell, a Memphis teen tragically lost in a pedestrian crash, and aims to raise awareness about the urgent need for safer streets in our city

With Mayor Paul Young offering opening remarks, the walk will bring together families, advocates, and community members for a day of remembrance, unity, and action. With comments and quotes from Rebekah McConnell, William’s mother, and Jackson McNeil, Transportation & Mobility Director at Innovate Memphis, about what this walk means—and how it fits into broader efforts to end fatal crashes in Memphis, which currently holds the highest fatal roadway crash rate in the nation.

"Each step we take is a step toward change."
Tune in, get inspired, and find out how you can join the movement.
