Marchers carry nearly 800 crosses down Michigan Avenue to remember city’s 2016 murder victims

Over 700 crosses were carried along Michigan Avenue on Dec. 31 -- one for each person killed in 2016 in Chicago. Greg Zanis of Aurora constructed the crosses with the help of volunteers and distributed them to families of the victims. St. Sabina Parish and its pastor, Father Michael Pfleger, organized the march down the Magnificent Mile.
