In Chicago, a little art studio bridges a great divide

In this Monday, June 25, photo, Charlie Branda, founder of Art on Sedgwick, hugs a few young residents of Marshall Field Garden Apartments in Chicago. Branda, whom many children call 'art teacher,' is a former commercial banker who left the profession to raise her two children, now teens. Though she doesn't consider herself an artist, she later opened a neighborhood art studio called Art on Sedgwick to try to unite a neighborhood divided by income and race. Her neighbors are often surprised to learn that, while she lives on the wealthier side of the neighborhood, she was raised by a single mom with modest means. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
