President Obama, Michelle Obama mark King’s birthday with appearance at service center



President Barack Obama and daughter Malia participate in a community service project in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday at the Browne Education Campus in Washington.

After meeting with volunteers, the Obamas headed to the school library to help build bookshelves and a reading corner for students. The president and first lady were then put to work painting two King quotes on the library walls.
