President-elect Barack Obama has called January 19th, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a National Day of Service. People and groups nationwide have organized service events in their area to mark the day. Residents of Takoma Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC, used the day to clean-up a local park and reclaim it as their own. VOA's Brian Allen has their story.
