LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2006 – The hard-scape of South Central got a little softer Sunday as CommonVision instructed children of the south central farmers in the art of planting tree. Trees were planted in the West African tradition of drumming and dancing while planting. Each tree received blessings and prayers for a long life in their new home on Long Beach Blvd at the entrance to the South Central Farm.
This event marks the conclusion of CommonVision’s weeklong stay at the farm. Their presence added a touch of magic to the farm this past week. Their solidarity and support for the farmers gave a boost to a week of stepped up activity on the part of the farmers and their supporters to save the farm from destruction.
