TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â A new initiative in Leon County hopes to bring people of different races and walks of life together.
The Equity Tallahassee Leon coalition was coordinated by Whole Child Leon to implement substantial and lasting change in Leon County. Courtney Atkins is the Executive Director of Whole Child Leon. We want to make sure that race and ethnicity are no longer predictors of life outcomes, said Atkins.
Standing on the Smokey Hollow memorial, which was once one of Leon County s few African American neighborhoods, county and city leaders launched an initiative to bring communities together through conversation.
