  Parlours - “I Dream Of Chicago” 

  I’ve been a lot of places
  My feet have kissed this land
  I try real hard to remember all the faces
  None seem to have what yours demands
  
  I took a train to Chicago
  Thought I could clear my mind
  I took a plane out to find some truth
  But all I’ve found I can’t seem to leave behind
  
  I dream of Chicago
  I dream about you
  I dream I could go and say all the things that I never said to you

  Inner City 4th Graders Share their Stories

  Two years ago, Judy Gelles was volunteering at an inner city public school and was assigned to a fourth-grade class. The school was as diverse as they come with children from African American, Hispanic and Asian immigrants. After several months of helping the students with their reading skills, she felt the need to connect with them on a deeper level. Mostly, she wanted to find out their stories.
  
  She asked each student the following three questions:
  Whom do they live with?
  What do they wish for?
  What do they worry about?
  
  The project turned out to be an eye-opening experience. “Their stories seemed to capture the gamut of societal issues that we face today; violence, immigration, the demise of the nuclear family, global hunger, and the impact of the media and popular culture,” she tells us. “The gray fortress door of the school became a blank slate for their words. Since the student is not be facing the camera, he or she remains anonymous. The words and images become more universal, rather than specific to that particular student.”
