Students from the Academy for Global Citizenship, an Archer Heights magnet school, McCutcheon Elementary School in Uptown, and other schools took part in the city’s annual Peace Day in Chicago event on Saturday.
Second- and third-graders from the Academy for Global Citizenship brought giant peace doves to the festivities in downtown’s Daley Plaza, while McCutcheon’s choir sang “This Day of Peace” and “Make a Difference” for the lunchtime crowd in Daley Plaza.
Peace Day in Chicago has been celebrated annually since 1978 and focuses on building peace in ourselves, our families, schools, communities, cities, nations and the world.
Here are images from the event.
