Chicago CRED reposted this
Beautiful. Profound. Joy. These are the words I use to describe the story of Chicago CRED. CRED's mission is to reduce gun violence. For the last 3 years I've had the pleasure of being a camera operator at the organization's annual graduation. At a certain point each year my thoughts drift to my cousin who was murdered in 2017, a victim of gun violence. As the clouds of grief creep in, being present at the graduation reminds me: Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY COMETH in the morning. Thank you Chicago CRED for the work that you do, lives are being changed and saved. (Arne Duncan, Monica Guerrero, Paul Robinson, Sherry McAdoo-Champion, Emerson Collective) I'm grateful to be a part of the ceremony. I look forward to the story of Chicago CRED being one of the first projects developed and streamed on Museum Culture Network. Thank you Kevin G. Gist for bringing me on. Thank you Brooke Collins for the use of your photos.
