Mr. Obama goes
to Lake Wales
A third inauguration of Barack Obama is set for Monday, Feb. 18 in Lake Wales. No, the president isn’t coming to Lake Wales and has only had two inaugurations, but that won’t stop Wanda Howard from staging a reenactment of the event with the Lake Wales NAACP Youth Council #5768 to commemorate Presidents Day.
“The kids know Obama, but don’t anything about Joe Biden,” said Howard, Council advisor and Allen Temple AME Church clerk about the vice president whom she met at the national convention in Texas. “He’s a down to earth person who tells the story of Moose, an African American in the NAACP who helped him get elected in Delaware.”
