Review our driving question: How do our individual and collective stories from Chicago and Rochester expose both resiliency and inequalities within our democracy right now? To help us understand both cities better, we first need to learn about what a community is, signs of a healthy community, and who we are within it. As you engage in this learning, consider the commonalities, the differences in both places, and why you think that is.
