I've been thinking a lot about the impact of violence in cities like Chicago, especially back in 2008 when Paris Harrison lost his life. It's difficult to imagine how communities cope with such constant threats around them. Paris was so young, just 23, and his untimely death was a stark reminder of how that year took such a heavy toll on Chicago's residents. I wonder what kind of person Paris was and what dreams he had. It's really devastating to see how the violence in certain neighborhoods overshadows the smiles and stories of people like Paris. It's frustrating to think that despite the efforts of so many community groups at the time, so many lives were still being lost. I can't stop thinking about how the families and friends of those affected, like Paris's, have had to endure so much pain. They deserve to see a change where they live—where every young person can feel hopeful about their future instead of fearful. It just makes you wish that there was something more we could all do to help make these communities safer for everyone.
