    Martin Luther King, Jr. oratory competition announces semifinalists for 25th annual event

    By The Hub on November 9, 2016 Headlines

    Twenty-five Dallas ISD students advance as semifinalists in the 25th Annual Gardere Martin Luther King Jr. Oratory Competition as they spoke to the theme, “If Dr. King were alive today, what would he say about Muhammad Ali’s contribution to society?”

    Each of the students wrote original essays and competed at the campus level for the opportunity to represent their school in the districtwide competition. Students must be in fourth- or fifth-grade in order to compete and are judged on stage presence, delivery, content interpretation and memorization.

    This year in honor of the 25th year of the competition, 25 orators will compete in the semifinals. In previous years, only 15 advanced to this round. The semifinals will be held between 6 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the Dallas ISD Administration Building.

    Past participants have even delivered their orations to audiences at the local and national level. The 2016 runner-up, Marco Mares, received a full scholarship offer to Paul Quinn College following his poignant speech made at the 2016 Dallas Bar Association’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Justice Award Luncheon.

    The final competition will be held Friday, Jan. 13, 2017 at the Majestic Theatre and is a free event open to the public. Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP law firm sponsors the annual competition.

    Students advancing to the semifinal round are:
