An Unexpected Lesson on Eating Well

My original thought was to go to Anacostia Park Pavilion to photograph rollerskaters. But because no one was rollerskating, I found myself talking to Nura Green of the Aban Institute. She's running a small summer program for teenagers and the day's lesson was on nutrition and how to prevent Type II Diabetes. The classroom is in an unlikely place - tucked behind a brown door within one wall of the skating pavilion. Inside, Green was teaching her students how to read nutrition labels.
