On September 19th, 2013, 13 people were wounded during a shooting at Cornell Square Park in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood. Directly across from that park is Richard J. Daley Elementary Academy, a school that's been affected by gun violence not just in the park, but all over the South Side neighborhood that it's a part of.
WBEZ Reporter Lauren Chooljian visited Daley Academy for an art show held by a group of seventh graders. Their works, done in marker and ink, were inspired by gun violence.
