Cherish Smith, 7, giggles as her mother playfully showers her with a heap of leaves, Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016, in Chicago. Cherish and her mother, Zerlina, were gathered at Chicago Police headquarters for a memorial rally honoring the life of Laquan McDonald. McDonald, a 17-year-old, was shot and killed by a Chicago Police officer Oct. 20, 2014. “McDonald was one of a record-high 11 youths killed while in the Department of Children and Family Services’ care during a two year period,” the @chicagotribune reported last month. #fall #leaves #blackgirljoy #everydayblackamerica #chicago #laquanmcdonald #blackyouth (at Chicago Police Headquarters 35th and Michigan.)

Cruising down West 64th Street, Vittorio Barbazo, 43, sets up his feet before attempting a trick on his skateboard, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016, in the West Englewood neighborhood. Barboza learned to skate 30 years ago and enjoys the hobby because it helps him kill time and stay out of trouble. “I could be off in this area, plug in my headphones and [if I have something on my mind] take it out in the street,” said Barboza.
