As gun violence ravages communities across the country, parents and teachers alike struggle to approach the topic with their children.
During the summer inside Third Baptist Church, you'll find nearly 20 kids apart of its Freedom School. It's a place where children learn to believe not only in themselves, but in making change in their communities through social action.Right now, Freedom Schools across the country are focusing on gun violence prevention. It's something Chidi thinks about a lot.
"Not many people come to talk about it with other people," said Chidi."It's only a small amount of schools that do that, but it shows they care about us." "It makes me want to work harder. The fact that in the United States gun violence is the leading cause of death for our children is absolutely, unacceptable."
