Earthen Vessels held its annual Community Event at its Tutoring Center in Dorchester March 31st, bringing together Harvard tutors, their tutees, the tutees' families and EV staff for a fun evening of fellowship and sharing. Families brought delicious homemade food to share and the kids put on a terrific presentation, tracing the history of (Black) liberation from slavery to Barack Obama. Several recited texts (beginning with Sojourner Truth), portions of speeches (including Martin Luther King, Jr. and Barack Obama), or their own poems. Another group put on a dance number which they had choreographed (with some help from one of the tutors). Everyone had a chance to get to know one another better and appreciate the talent and creativity of the young people (and their parents!). Thanks to Lauren and Nancy for all their hard work putting it all together.
