Abstract

Melissa addressed community empowerment by working with underserved youth. She partnered with the Greater Linden Development Corporation and the Lindenā€ McKinley STEM Academy. Under Melissa's direction, 8th grade students conducted video interviews of local residents, businesses, and community agencies to learn about their community's history and environmental racism in their neighborhood.

Description

IMPACT. 1: Students interviewed the Ohio EPA, Columbus Health Department, and the Kirwan Institute on Race and Ethnicity. They learned of the high rates of prostate cancer, asthma and other illnesses in their neighborhood connected to environmental racism. -- 2. Additionally, with Ohio State cartography students, Linden students created digital maps to offer Linden residents and visitors a resource for historical landmarks, health and human services, and sites of activism.
