On January 17th, I had the pleasure of photographing an MLK Youth Oratorical Contest at Hylton Memorial Chapel (Woodbridge, VA). The theme of this year's program was "Voices of Character and Courage." Three high school and three middle school finalists took the stage one-by-one to present their polished speeches before hundreds of people in the audience. These were some really impressive young people, to have the confidence and smooth delivery of such powerful messages.
This annual event was sponsored by Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The Woodbridge (VA) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. also supported the event along with the young men from it's Guide Right program. Congressman Gerald Connolly and members of the Prince William County School Board were also in attendance. Thanks to all the sponsors and participants' parents who helped make this event a success.
