	The Mothers for Peace celebrated the completion of an incredilby beautiful and moving mural in the Back-of-the-Yards community. Along with youth, community members, and local artists, the Mothers for Peace group led the effort to create a social space dedicated to peacebuilding and keeping dreams alive. Young people, many of whom had their struggles, assisted in the creation of the mural. It continues the ongoing use of art and collaboration in an effort toward "putting neighbor back into the hood".
