A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
For those of us who weren’t able to score lottery tix to the WH easter egg roll, here’s a little more information.
From the White House website:
Ready, Set, Go!
The President and First Lady have announced that this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on Monday, April 5, 2010 with the theme of “Ready, Set, Go!” promoting health and wellness. The event will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and, of course, Easter egg rolling. All of the activities will encourage children to lead healthy and active lives and follow the First Lady’s ‘Let’s Move!’ initiative, a national campaign to combat childhood obesity. The White House will open its South Lawn for children aged 12 years and younger and their families.
Here’s the official Easter Egg — 20,000 will be available for the roll today and you can order your own souvenir eggs too.
Here’s video from last year’s Easter Egg Roll and you can watch live during the day.
