The Windy City Hip Hop Project

The Youth Peace Center is a place for kids in the dangerous far South Side community of Roseland to gather after school, get away from their often tumultuous home lives and work toward improving their community. For the past 14 weeks, YPC participants have been learning from Family Rescue worker Bernice George about domestic abuse. To mark the end of the program Wednesday, the kids performed a number of short skits about different types of abuse that they confront in their everyday lives and also talked about their experiences.
