Dear Community Organizations and Churches,

January 20, 2020 will mark the annual celebration of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday across the nation and the 30th anniversary of the Martin Luther King Youth Oratorical Contest and Program hosted by the Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (PWCAC-DST, Inc.) in affiliation with the Delta Research and Educational Foundation (DREF) at the Hylton Memorial Chapel in Woodbridge, Virginia. The PWCAC-DST, Inc. has celebrated this historic day since its beginning. The theme for the 2020 program is “Let Freedom Ring” which was the theme for the first oratorical contest.

The members of PWCAC-DST, Inc. invite you to join us to commemorate this day of celebration and help make this program the largest MLK Day Celebration in the Nation. There are several ways you can help:

*Thirty members of each organization in your area attend the program.
