There are no Children Here is a story about two boys who grew up in the public housing projects in Chicago in the 1980’s.
I’m looking for resources to help students build background knowledge about the topic prior to reading the book. This includes (but not necessarily limited to): public housing projects in Chicago, juvenile justice system, gangs. 
If you have used, or know of, any resources that are engaging and appropriate for 8th graders, I would very much appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you,
