Chicago’s Lawndale neighborhood is throwing a hip-hop block party like no other—bringing together families, artists, and neighbors to stand up for nonviolence and community healing. The Firehouse Community Arts Center’s Block Party for Peace is packed with live music, street art, basketball, yoga, and even a classic car show on Route 66. Free haircuts, a back-to-school fest, and a blood drive make it more than just a party—it’s a real push for unity and hope. Every bite, beat, and activity helps fund youth programs that build leadership and creativity. How do you think events like this can shape our neighborhoods? #Culture #Chicago #Community
