Bringing peace to Chicago's streets

"I respected them, so they respected me." 08/27/18 In the spirit of the original defender, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Great Big Story is proud to celebrate the fearless, the headstrong and the undeterred with our series, "The Defenders." Tune in each day this week for a new story in the series, and catch the television premiere of CNN Films' documentary "RBG" on Monday, September 3 at 9pm and 12am EST/ 6pm and 9pm PST. In Chicago, a Home Away From Violence Diane Latiker thinks a 12-year-old kid should be worried about his grades—not about getting shot on his walk home from school. What's mundane in other parts of town can be deadly in Roseland, Diane's South Side Chicago neighborhood. The city's epidemic of gang and gun violence—most of its victims young, Black and male—makes national news and campaign talking points. But Diane Latiker isn't here for talk. She's interested in listening. Copyright © 2018 Great Big Story, LLC, All rights reserved.You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the Great Big Story newsletter.
