Editor Note:   Mrs. Kathie Danielson, Principal of Roosevelt High school later in the day clarified the cancellation.   She said the controversial nature of the presentation didn't give the administration sufficient time to notify parents.   Mrs. Danielson has committed to including Alveda King in a future assembly as part of Black History Month.
