Police officers at CAPS meetings have strongly advised residents not to walk/ride/take buses in that area of S MLK Drive when students are commuting to/from school. They didn't specifically include summer break.
If you do take MLK north around McCormick Place on 22nd (Cermak), be aware that it's under heavy construction until 2006 and with occasional traffic rerouting congestion, some construction vehicles, and lots of cars and cabs trying to get around buses.
