Videos from National Night Out

Well it worked.  So here are two more videos from our National Night Out party.  The Krunk dance group is made up of some high school guys from the block.  After the kids saw what the guys could do they gave it their best effort.  enjoy…

Spoken Word at our National Night Out Party

This is my first attempt to post a video.  I hope that it works.  This is a spoken word piece that Jasmine did for us.  She group up on the Northside, graduated from North High, and is now working with a non-profit organization.  I believe her to be one of the great leaders of our neighborhood.

National Night Out

Last week we had a Block Party on our street.  It was a whole block effort.  Ann organized the event, which was a huge blessing and she did a great job.  Jasmine did a spoken word piece, and Robert had his dance team “bust a move” for us.  Michael was our DJ (and he knows how to mix the music) and we had Ms Zulu told some Arican stories to the kids.  Other people brought food.  The above picture is of Bobby who made fried green tomatoes.  I picked the tomatoes from our community garden, Bobby cooked them up, and then we ate them as a community.  What a cool picture of a nieghborhood comming together.
