Educators and law enforcement pledged to see Chicago youth through the summer months while many face gun violence in their neighborhoods.
At Gately Park in Pullman, there was music and dancing on a beautiful Friday afternoon, but underneath it all is a message of peace as students look ahead to summer months without school."This peace rally is centered around-- is student centered, youth centered," said Joyce Chapman, member of the Chicago Board of Education.
"But, now school isn't safe anymore, so the only way we could create that peace is if we all have peaceful mindsets," said Nicole Whitney, junior CPS student. That reality of gun violence just steps away from many of these young people's homes has school leaders and law enforcement pledging to see these students to their next school year.
