NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville police are trying to identify a person who could be responsible for defacing the rainbow crosswalk in East Nashville.

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
