Community members help clean the area around a looted convenience store in Baltimore.

Violence isn't the only thing happening on the streets of Baltimore.

The nation was inundated with images of rioting that erupted in the city Monday after the funeral for Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who was gravely injured while in police custody this month and later died. Rioters hurled rocks. They burned patrol cars. They looted.

But there were also peaceful protests. Residents thanked police. And on Tuesday, with schools closed and streets quiet, volunteers worked to clean up their city.
