These 49 high school youth would have competed in the National Oratorical Contest, which was unfortunately canceled because of the coronavirus.
The decision to cancel The American Legion's 83rd National Oratorical Contest, which was scheduled for April 17-19, 2020 in Indianapolis, was made following the outbreak of the coronavirus. The cancellation followed recommendations issued by local, state and federal authorities to reduce the growing number of coronavirus cases with a stay-at-home order.
The American Legion recognizes the 49 high school students for their efforts of speaking on the U.S. Constitution and winning their respective American Legion post, district and state-level Oratorical Contest.
