9. 15th Ward Alderman Toni Foulkes,
“The Violence Stop Here Contest is an excellent way for our children to
express their views about our community. After all it is their every day
reality (on the streets and in the school, etc).
Adults can only imagine it. It is only our hypothesis, so who is better to
tell the story than our children?”
