Abstract
Studio Gang, Jeanne Gang’s architecture firm, believes in basketball. They envision a future where basketball diplomacy unites Chicago’s Black communities and the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Should improving “relations” between these groups be the designer’s responsibility, especially after the police murder of Laquan McDonald?
