Zero Tolerance – A Comic

A terrific group of youth participated in a 5 session comic workshop series this past year. The series was sponsored by Project NIA, the Jane Addams Hull House Museum, and the Chicago Freedom School. The teaching artist was Rachel Williams. More information about that workshop series can be found here.

One of the pieces that was created as part of that comic workshop series depicts the consequences of zero tolerance policies. This piece was inspired by Suspension Stories’ Sent Down the Drain comic. We are thrilled that Sent Down the Drain provided some inspiration for creating this comic.

Created in the Just Us Comic Arts Workshop - November 2010
