Knoxville Urban League donates dozens of refurbished laptops to families and students in need

WBIR, 8/5/24

On Monday, the Knoxville Area Urban League donated laptops to families and students in the area who are in need. In Tennessee, around 13% of families don’t have access to the internet, according to AT&T. This issue is known as the digital divide. The telecommunications company teamed up with leaders in Knoxville to help give families resources ahead of the school year. The company sent dozens of refurbished laptops to the Urban League and the Wesley House Community Center.
