President Obama and the First Lady work with the kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington as part of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service.
“Today, we come together in a National Day of Service, because as Dr. King once said, ‘Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?’
President Obama and the First Lady joined millions of people across the country to commemorate the September 11 attacks through acts of service.
Earlier today, the Obamas prepared meals for local shelters at the DC Central Kitchen as part of the MLK Day of Service.
“Dr. King taught us that ‘an individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.’ In honor of this spirit, Americans across the country will come together for a day of service. By volunteering our time and energy, we can build stronger, healthier, more resilient communities. Today, let us put aside our narrow ambitions, lift up one another, and march a little closer to the nation Dr. King envisioned.” —President Obama on MLK Day.
