25th ANNUAL PIEDMONT MLK CELEBRATION – JANUARY 17, 2022 @ 11:00 AM PST. Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision for inclusive communities calls on us to reflect and change ourselves, as well as embrace the interdependence necessary for everyone to live together in peace. “Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives,” King said. Committing to our own personal and family anti-racist learning journeys and being intentional about racial equity is the focus of Piedmont’s 25th annual MLK Day Celebration.

More than four decades ago, the Founder of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Oratorical Fest, Donald Oliver had a vision. He wanted to showcase student’s oratorical skills and he wanted to honor Dr. King. He felt that testing scores did not truly reflect students’ comprehension skills. But he knew that delivering an oration was an exercise that required students to read and understand a complex text in order to perform that text in a public speaking competition. This brings us to 2022 and the 43rd Annual OUSD Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Oratorical Festival in which schools at all grade levels across Oakland bring Donald Oliver's vision to their students.
