The MLK Parade Foundation presented Houston's 23rd Annual MLK Grande Parade. "Celebrating Our Diversity" was the theme, and it was evident in the event's attendance. Co-grand marshals were Tina Knowles-Lawson and Richard Lawson, and this parade honored attorneys Benjamin Crump and Ricky Anderson. Many marched and rode in the parade including TSU's Ocean of Soul and more!
