Because Safe Streets Shouldn’t Be a Luxury When we lost William, it opened our eyes to a painful truth: Memphis is the most dangerous city in the country for pedestrians. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Road crashes aren't random; they're preventable. Cities can make choices that save lives. We’ve seen it done elsewhere, and it can happen here.

What a day! The Inaugural William’s Walk was more than just a stroll through Overton Park Memphis, it was a powerful, joyful, and heartfelt step toward a safer city for all.
