Photos of Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in Philadelphia
Tens of thousands of volunteers gathered for the day's 28th year.

The Marian Anderson Recreation Center was one of the hundreds of community hubs where tens of thousands of volunteers gathered Monday for the 28th annual Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service.
The day’s signature event was held at Girard College in North Philadelphia, where King in 1965 joined NAACP leader Cecil B. Moore and spoke to a massive crowd protesting for the school to be desegregated.
The theme this year was gun-violence prevention, and hundreds of volunteers assembled “antiviolence kits” that included gun locks and the phone numbers of resource groups.
