Posters from United Black Fund's I Love Life Campaign. 'I Love Life and I Want to Live' was Dr. Calvin Rolark's response to epidemic violence in DC 25 years ago. We are taking the Campaign to the 4 High Schools in Prince George's County where 7 student lives were lost to violence this school year. An essay, a speech, a poster, or a song on the 'I Love Life' theme will give students a chance to reflect on how precious is the gift of life. Stay tuned!
