In a memorial assembly, Roosevelt honored the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  The assembly commemorated what would have been Dr. King’s 41st birthday.

Joe Hubicki and Barbara McGee told about the Negro leader’s life, accomplishments and goals, after which Noreen Davis sang Dr. King’s favorite song, “Precious Lord.”

The program ended with a gospel version of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” sung by Glorious Goldsmith with an ensemble of LaNey Jones, Phyllis Taylor, Janice Turnstall and Noreen Davis.
