I interviewed Chicago’s Carmen Kinglsey today. She was a member of Mennonite Volunteer Service in Chicago, and worked with the organization “Play for Peace.” She explained Chicago is quite segregated, white sections, black sections, hispanic sections… Play for Peace would coordinate high school students from each of these sections to work as teams that would oversee play projects in elementary schools.
