Starkville mayor Parker Wiseman (c.) and Starkville in Motion president Devon Brenner (l.) and other community leaders joined the staff and students of the T. K. Martin Center at Mississippi State University to participate in the first Disability Awareness Day at the Starkville Community Market last Saturday. Using wheelchairs and low-vision simulating goggles, participants experienced the accessibility of downtown sidewalks and City Hall for the first time as a person with a disability.
