All eyes were on Milwaukee on Saturday night as protesters and rioters took to the streets of the Sherman Park area, a boiling point reached after the police-involved shooting of Sylville Smith earlier that afternoon.

Those eyes, local and national, stayed on Milwaukee and Sherman Park on Sunday to see how the city and its residents would react and respond to the previous night's violence. What they saw was a community – black and white, young and old – come together to clean up their streets, show their support for an area in recovery and voice their thoughts, hopes and prayers for a safer, more peaceful tomorrow. 

Here are 16 images of that scene Sunday afternoon:

The young man with the braids in the white t-shirt lost his brother yesterday. I told this young man that I love him, WE as a community told him that we love him, and we want the best for him and our community.
