This week, President Obama took part in the Annual Prayer Breakfast. Watch his speech below.
You've probably come across the amazing Humans of New York site, and this week, 13 year old Vidal paid a visit to the Oval Office. On Humans of New York, Vidal talked about his principal Ms. Lopez, saying: "She told each one of us that we matter." After garnering more than 1 million likes and shares on social media, the photo gave rise to a national campaign that has raised more than $1 million for Mott Hall Bridges Academy, a middle school in Brownsville, Brooklyn -- the neighborhood with the highest crime rate in New York City. The funds will send students to visit Harvard, support summer programs and provide scholarships. Vidal Chastanet, Nadia Lopez and Brandon Stanton, the Humans of New York creator and photographer, sat down with President Obama to share their incredible story.
