People who walk in the city face a challenge when it comes to crossing the street when people are driving recklessly. But it is even more difficult when the pedestrian is someone with a disability. Raquella Freeman lives and works in downtown Milwaukee. She is a graduate student at Marquette and a research fellow at Independence First, a non-profit that helps people with disabilities live independently. She has been in a wheelchair since birth.
