Chicago mural symbolizes unity between Black and Brown communities in South Chicago

A mural in South Chicago highlights collaboration between Black and Brown communities, created by local youth in 2021. It features two hands reaching out, symbolizing the sharing of knowledge and culture, set against a backdrop of the Chicago skyline. The mural was commissioned to honor the neighborhood's history after the U.S. Steel South Works mill closed over 30 years ago. It aims to show the Learning Center as a place for local youth to envision brighter futures. Students involved in the project learned about teamwork and the area's past, which was once vibrant with steel production. The mural serves as a symbol of hope and opportunity for the community's future.
