About this Event

Get Ready for the Dr. Aubrey Perry, Sr. “The Color of Excellence” Oratorical Contest!

The Chi Omega Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Omega Lamplighters, the City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Affairs, and the Jack McLean Community Center invite you to attend the 7th Annual Dr. Aubrey Perry, Sr. “The Color of Excellence” Oratorical Contest & Black History Display Showcase/Competition.

This powerful Black History Month celebration will feature young men in grades 3–12 presenting original speeches, dramatic reenactments, and display boards honoring local and national Black heroes who shaped history through courage, leadership, and excellence.

Join us for an evening of:

  • Inspiring youth oratorical presentations
  • Black history display showcases
  • Live performances
  • Dinner and community fellowship
  • Awards and recognition for every youth participant

💡 Our Purpose

In life, our biggest competitor is often ourselves. “The Color of Excellence” is designed to help young people build confidence, strengthen public speaking skills, and grow through encouragement—not pressure.

All youth presenters will receive prizes and will be scored as part of a growth experience, not to determine a “winner,” but to support their development and celebrate their effort.


🎟 Tickets

Tickets are FREE.
However, guests are encouraged to consider making a monetary donation to support future youth leadership and educational events in our community.

We look forward to celebrating Black excellence with you!
