CPS closings protest at Lakeview High School | Photos

Hundreds of parents, students, teachers and community organizers gathered at Lakeview High School yesterday to voice opposition to the proposed closings of CPS schools. A Chicago Tribune report says the protesters "staged a candlelight vigil and marched to Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home on the North Side", adding that the they targeted his home to "make the point that Emanuel decided to close and replace staff at schools without visiting the schools first or talking to parents." Our photographer was there to capture the scene and says the protesters weren't allowed to gather at Emanuel's house so the march briefly stopped nearby on Hermitage Avenue and then concluded in the Ravenswood Elementary School parking lot.
