Please be advised that a Houston non-profit 501 c 3 organization, The Black Heritage Society, Inc. in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. conducted the very first Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade in Houston, Texas, January 15, 1978. Martin Luther "Daddy" King, Sr. served as the parade first grand marshal. Dr. King's father Daddy King also took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony naming and changing the street "South Park Boulevard" to "Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard." The information is well documented via film footage of the first MLK Parade along with Daddy King dating the event and speaking to the same. www.originalmlkparade.org
