Blackspace Oklahoma is a local nonprofit bringing support and education to the African American community.
Through a partnership with Oklahoma City Public Schools the group targeted Douglass High School and Martin Luther King Elementary School, to develop leadership skills and environmental protection.
They were challenged to create projects on things like air pollution, carbon monoxide poisoning, hazardous waste and others. And the students loved it.
“For a lot of them it was the first time they thought about how their actions impacted their communities and such. So, I think we had a really good buy in by them,” said Afiya Wilkins with Blackspace Oklahoma.
