RHS bulletin: Monday next week announced as Martin Luther King Jr. Day; no school
Summary
A student announcer in the Southern Kern Unified morning bulletin reminded students that Monday next week is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and there will be no school, citing the holiday's association with King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
Kevin, a student announcer, reminded listeners that “Monday next week is Martin Luther King Junior Day. So, there's no school,” during the Southern Kern Unified morning bulletin.
The announcement placed the holiday in context: Kevin said the day “is the day we celebrate him giving his I have a dream speech, and giving us the freedom to be together instead of being separate.”
The bulletin moved on after the announcement to other segments of the morning program. The student speakers did not specify a calendar date for the holiday in the recording.
