Beginning in October of 2013, Groundswell provided an outlet for students from the Coalition School for Social Change to remember those who they have lost and to make a difference in their community. As a part of Groundswell’s ongoing partnership with the Department of Transportation, the students came together to create a new street sign to be installed near their school. The theme that the youth worked towards/around was the theme of “awareness”; awareness in traffic, awareness when walking, awareness when deciding/deciding not to drink and drive, etc. Moreover, the mural was made in memoriam of the students’ close friend, Renee Thompson, who they had lost as a result of a community in need of such awareness.
