On Thursday January 14, the Florence Johnson Grand Theatre was overflowing with students, teachers, and outside visitors for the Martin Luther King Assembly. The assembly was put together by San Diego SCPA’s Associated Student Bodywith the help of many other participants. The Martin Luther King Assembly has been a tradition of SCPA for a couple of years now and each year it just gets better and better, and this year was no different.

The students of SCPA put on a spectacular show. Performances included cultural and hip hop dances from the Pan Asian and Pacific Islander Association (PAPIA), a remarkable slide show tribute created by senior Jasper Blake, and deep and captivating movements of the lovely ladies in the Four Women piece choreographed by Mrs. Sandra Foster-King. The assembly was truly something you had to see. Other stand out performances included a beautifully sung song by the trio consisting of senior Megan Foranda, junior Montay Romero, and freshman Victoria Matthews which brought down the house. If that wasn’t enough talent the assembly was nicely concluded to the powerful spoken word put on by Production and Performance and the fun- loving and talented Choral Ensemble. 

The Martin Luther King Jr. assembly was very impressive and showed how we can all come together and make something extravagant which is what Dr. King lived and died for.
