41st Annual King Day Program and Celebration January 19th

The Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (PWCAC-DST) will celebrate its 41st annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Youth Oratorical Competition and Program on Monday, January 19, 2026, at 11 a.m. (Doors open at 10 a.m.) This year’s event will be held at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 18410 Chapel St, Triangle, VA (off Route One, near Quantico MCB). Middle school and high school students from throughout the Prince William County area will display their amazing oratorical skills and children of all ages will sing songs of celebration in the MLK Youth Community Choir.

The topic for this year’s orators is, "Awakening the Dream: Breaking Barriers in the Fight for Justice and Unity.” Six regional competition winners will take the stage. The community is invited to attend and bear witness to the inspiring speech content and delivery of Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park students. If past years are an indication, the speeches will be captivating and the MLK Youth Community choir and other youth participants will make this celebration an impactful experience for the community.

Small business vendors and community outreach organizations will also be on site and available at 10 a.m. and after the program.
