Welcome
The MLK Unity Parade-Downtown Houston
The MLK Unity Parade on January 19, 2026, was restored to its full glory. You can listen to the voice of our late Founder and Executive Director talking about the 1st Original MLK Jr. Parade and a major thoroughfare street-naming for Civil Rights Champion Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., January 21, 1978: https://youtu.be/kuEb0ItcrQc?si=axPnyDjNc1Vyk7Yv
In honor of the late Ovide Duncell Jr., Black Heritage Society Inc. is leading the parade and embracing the necessary sacrifices as we advance into the next chapter of our journey. Registration will be available soon. Gratitude and pride radiated from the corner of downtown Houston as people of all ethnicities came together to honor our champion leader, the late Dr. Martin L. King, a symbol of inclusion, justice, equality, and freedom for all. An estimated 100,000 or more attendees witnessed this historic event in person and on media platforms. Each participating parade proudly presented its own Grand Marshal and distinctive entries, alongside the City of Houston.
Thank you,
Teresa Brewer,
President
