National Day of Service January 21, 2013

Photos from National Day of Service in honor of the inauguration of President Obama and Martin Luther King Day at Washington Irving Junior High School in Glassell Park, California. I am not in these pictures but I was in a group of 5 cleaning trash and leaves and applying mulch around several trees across from where the lockers were being painted.   A ground of over 200-300 showed up and painted the school, cleaned the grounds and moved old unused books and supplies from the classrooms to dumpsters. Also it was a celebration with music and dancing with all groups represented - Caucasian, Asian, African American, Pacific Islander, etc. Also Latinos and Latinas, gay and straight, old and young.
