Austin Area Heritage Council
The Austin Area Heritage Council (AAHC), in collaboration with ACC African American Cultural Center (AACC), ACC Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT), ACC Black Representation of Achievement through Student Support (BRASS), Google Fiber, Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity and, Child, Inc. are sponsoring the 19th Annual MLK Oratory Competition.

The competition is opened to individual 4th, 5th and 6th grade students on school campuses. Unfortunately, previous winners of this competition are not allowed to participate in this year’s event.

Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic two years ago, we have done this event virtually. We are happy to announce that this event will be live and in person in order to continue the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and most importantly, for the students who are the future of this country.

This event will take place on Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 6:30pm at the Austin Community College’s (ACC) Highland Campus which is located at 6101 Highland Campus Drive, Building 4000, Room 4.2205 – Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation, Austin, Texas 78752.

The topic for the 2024 MLK Oratory contest is: “We Are the DREAMERS: Continuing the Legacy Through the Pursuit of Equality for All – If Dr. King were alive today, what would you share with him with the changes you would personally make in order to have his dream become a reality for this country and the world and how would you do it”?
