Save The Babies and Stop The Violence BBQ held outside shuttered South Side school

Madeline Kenney/Sun-Times Dozens of children smiled and joyfully screamed Sunday at the “Save The Babies and Stop The Violence BBQ” as they ran around a playground and jumped in bounce houses set up in a lot outside a shuttered elementary school in Auburn-Gresham. The children stopped only to watch the Jesse White Tumblers perform gravity-defying tricks, leaping over a pyramid of people to the crowd’s amusement. “These kids out here performing, able to play, [it’s] really heartwarming for me because each and every day they’re dodging bullets,” community activist Ja’Mal Green said. At least 27 children 15 and younger have been shot this month, according to Sun-Times’ records. The staggering number of children wounded in shootings this summer has left many community members and activists, including Green, saying, “enough is enough.”

Opinion: Ako Abdul-Samad keeps building legacy of advocacy and comfort

On the last Sunday in May 1995, Ako Abdul-Samad was sitting in an office at the Eldora youth detention center having what others might call a come to Jesus session with a soon-to-be released 16-year-old. A Black Muslim working for Urban Dreams, Abdul-Samad was showing he had the kid s number. Having blown three previous opportunities for a release, the spirited boy he d just met had been in Eldora 10 months for drug possession. The stately man in the leather suspenders wasn t going to tolerate a fourth derailment. You re intelligent, the told the kid. You know the streets. You ve been manipulating folks a long time.
