Finally, tonight, America Strong and proof you're never too young to make a difference.

[00:00:05]

Hello, my name is William Miller.

[00:00:08]

Most days, nine-year-old William Miller is not in a suit and tie. He likes playing catch with his dad, practicing kickboxing, and walking with his grandma to the local Sonic. But when dangerous street racing continued to be a problem at the intersection they had to cross, William took action.

[00:00:24]

We just hear all the time. It's not very safe around here. I don't I wanted my grandma to get hurt.

[00:00:31]

After his grandma almost got hit, he went straight to the city Council, the pint-size activist showing up in that suit and tie.

[00:00:39]

How are you guys doing today? Me and my grandma would walk to Sonic to get some ice cream, and It's very dangerous because of all of the street racers, I wonder if you guys have any solution to fix this.

[00:00:51]

The mayor and police chief later meeting with William and promising change.

[00:00:56]

Everyone started to come to talk to me.

[00:00:58]

Now, they're stepped up law enforcement in the area and a brand new stoplight.

[00:01:03]

This light here, this is the one that you did, LB. I know. Isn't that crazy?

[00:01:08]

William returning to the council last month.

[00:01:11]

I want to thank you because you guys made some changes.

[00:01:14]

My grandson at nine years old has taught me, if you have a problem with where you live, you have to go talk to the people who are in charge.

[00:01:22]

William encouraging others to speak up and making no secret about his future aspirations.

[00:01:27]

I want to lead the country. I want to be President. I want to do some things for America.

[00:01:34]
