Continuing Education's 1st Place winning MLK float
January 18, 2017 |
Welding students at San Diego Continuing Education created a float that showcased the skills and artistry they have gained from participating in various welding classes at ECC. This year’s float featured a massive die-cut steel sign that reads “Let Freedom Ring”, and a pressed metal impression of Martin Luther King Jr.’s likeness. More than 6,000 holes punched through the sheet metal helped to re-create the well-known photo of the civil rights leader. Both pieces were attached to a rotating column so that parade patrons could see both works as the float went by.
