Original MLK Parade

The very first MLK Day Parade in the nation, established 42 years ago. Our parade is sanctioned by the King family & supported by the City of Houston.

Did you know Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is “a day on, not a day off”? MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities.

Houston is the home of the nation's first MLK Jr. Day parade in 1978, years before it became a national holiday.

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

Many MLK Day events have moved online, offered virtually through Zoom or other apps – but organizers hope public enthusiasm will remain high given the extra resonance the holiday carries in a time of continuing social unrest. https://t.co/seS7MBilI4

Dear politicians/political influencers:

When you tweet about my father’s birthday, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty & militarism.

Encourage & enact policies that reflect your birthday sentiments.

Here’s the authentic #MLK:
