![On Wednesday, January 19, Menlo’s Black Student Union (BSU) affinity group led an assembly in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. For the main portion of the assembly, six BSU students interviewed their mother or father about experiences regarding their upbringing, education or job. The guiding question to the parents was, ‘how do you find joy and connection in what you do and who you are?’
“This assembly was the best one yet, and I am absolutely ecstatic about how it turned out. [Senior] Iyanu and I have put in hours of work since November to plan a meaningful assembly to showcase our Black excellence. This definitely put BSU on the map and sent a powerful message to the whole school,” co-leader Sammie Floyd said.
