Props to Chi-town
For throwing the American Little League Champions, Jackie Robinson West, a parade (a la the Bears, Hawks, Bulls and White Sox) all the way downtown to Millennium Park. With a stop at Sox Park for fireworks.
White-Black, North-South, are all lined up whooping it up. Police instead of targeting are escorting and running security for these kids who are from some of the city's toughest neighborhoods.
Hope this day somehow snowballs....and these 'kids' provide the younger ones a lesson that hard work and discipline pays off and there's an alternative to gang life. That the police show a bit more restraint and respect considering the one they want to search/roust may be a kid from this team and most important of all Jesse Jackson keeps his mouth shut and instead waves like he did today.
