Nowhere to Play

Scott Strazzante

Chicago Tribune

Young boxer Willie Hernnadez looks down onto North Avenue from the front window of his family's Humboldt Park neighborhod apartment in Chicago. Due to gang violence, Hernandez and his three brothers are not allowed by their parents to play outside their residence. The boys have turned to boxing as a way to get out their pent-up energy.
