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

Harris County District Clerk Marilyn Burgess is proud to participate in Houston’s 43rd annual MLK Day. This year, the parade will be virtual and District Clerk Burgess will participate with a video in which she speaks about the indelible legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thanks for including details on our virtual event and parade of giving tomorrow! Watch online and/or meet us at MacGregor Park for the donation drop off.
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. usatoday.com/story/news/nati…
