POTUS Does Some Painting

Yesterday the First and Second Families spent the day volunteering as part of a national day of service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

President Obama, the First Lady, and Malia Obama volunteered at a local elementary school, while the Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden traveled to Philadelphia to take part in the largest Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in the nation.
