In 1988, Rebecca "Becky" Wilson recognized that Memphis was divided, and she decided to do something about it. In its first year, her Bridge Builders® program started with 40 kids from Northside High School (a predominantly African-American, inner-city public school) and Briarcrest Christian School (a predominantly white private school in East Memphis). Today, the program serves over 1500 youth at 55 schools each year.
