About

A celebration that grew

The Brentwood Black History Month Oratorical began in 2023 as a celebration at Pioneer Elementary School. Today it is a district-wide showcase of Black excellence.

Families, teachers, and neighbors volunteer to plan it each year, with support from Brentwood Union School District.
