On the article Former ETHS Student Shot, Killed on South Side of Chicago

ReplyMichael, you're right that the school has no obligation to glorify him, and in my opinion, it did not. They could have ignored his death and carried on, but that would have been the easy thing to do. Instead, ETHS acknowledged the passing of this recent alumnus. When I hear comments like, "Let Chicago deal with it," I have an up close view of why violence continues in our country: this kid was from HERE...he learned his behaviors HERE...touched lives HERE... If nothing else, his killing serves as a reminder that kids from ETHS are getting gunned down here, there and everywhere. Doesn't sound like glory to me. Do you really think the high schoolers think he's glorified?

ReplyThis is easily one of the most inspiring articles I've ever read. I'm in awe of Tiffany's strength and determination to share Dajae's spirit with so many others. Our town needs her efforts. No wonder Dajae was such an outstanding young man. Just look at what kind of parent raised him.

ReplyWow, Debirag, that's a lot of change in the 58 years you've lived here, and I don't think you're alone in your frustration. Is there anything that remains intact now that you loved as a new resident in Evanston?

ReplyLauren, welcome to Evanston and thank you for reading and adding your two cents. I couldn't agree more that Evanston is "a rare and wonderful blend of urban/suburban living"; it's exactly why I love raising a family here. I also agree that perception is important, which is why I want to draw attention to the issues that can and should be addressed. I stand by my belief that the area surrounding the high school has struggled with gun violence for too long (if "plagued" doesn't sit well, I'm happy to use terms like "distressed", "troubled" or "shaken" because they're what I hear from residents across Evanston). I attended the 2nd Ward meeting on 4/11/13 and my column on the good news coming from that gathering should appear on Monday, 4/15/13, so please stay tuned for more...
