The look on the seconds kids face closest in the photo is like “yeaaaa my mom made me come”

I love this! My mother and grandmother were totally "Leave it to Beaver Housewives". So I saw a million of these. But this is better because this is in Harlem. I have never seen that before. It's gorgeous!

Edit: I love this photo because it is a reminder that no matter someone's race, religion or gender at the end of the day we are all human first. We all want to be loved, have a sense of community and feel safe. This photo translates that into our social interactions without prejudice. Which only goes to prove how much of a choice it is to focus on human differences..

TIL in this thread that not a lot of people do or know about deb balls. I wish I could have opted out of mine.
