Thanks to @LATimesWharton & The @latimes for investigating how skateboarding continues to be a site of community-building and social change!
What can skaters teach the rest of us? #USC scholar @Neftalie says: 'No one owns @skateboarding. It is not made up of institutions that formulate policies. It just happens organically with people who come together to do this thing they love.' latimes.com/sports/story/202…
