Intellectual Cafe

In the neighborhood where Mark and I are staying is a place called Busboys and Poets. It seemed to be the cradle for African-American intellectualism. The cafe has open mike nights, poetry readings, etc. What strikes you about the place is its diversity and inclusiveness on the same relative block as the center of the 1968 riots. We are told that this where the neighborhood Obama team met during the campaign. Here are photos inside and shot of an interesting portrait composed of newspaper articles about Obama.
