Emerson Students Meet the Globetrotters

GlobetrottersThe Harlem Globetrotters were in town last weekend and put on a show for fifth graders from Roxbury’s Emerson Elementary at the new Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Dorchester’s Upham’s Corner neighborhood. Pictured at right are the Globetrotters giving some basketball tips to Emerson principal Dr. Vivian Swoboda and Major Robert Kountz of the Salvation Army. The Kroc Center, which has fitness, aquatic, health, and worship space in addition to a brand-new gymnasium, officially opens April 1.
