Gardere’s 25th Annual MLK Jr. Oratory Competition in Dallas was covered by Fox 4 News. Fifth-grader Sierra Jones from Charles Rice Learning Center took first place in the competition.

“I would say fight when you’re tired. Fight for what you believe,” said Ms. Jones, speaking as Dr. King. “Fight like my friend Muhammad Ali. Fight until you can’t fight anymore.”
