Black Heritage Society's 37th Annual Original MLK Birthday Parade will begin at Crawford and Texas near Minute Maid Park, and end at Hamilton and Preston.

In Midtown, the MLK Grande Parade will be on San Jacinto Street and Elgin Street.

People will enjoy a mile of 15 floats and 30 bands. The grand marshal is Rushion McDonald who is the executive producer of The Steve Harvey Show. He's a Houston native and University of Houston graduate.

Both parades begin at 10 a.m.

Which one does Quannel X endorse?

Whichever group has the most butt-hurt at the time.

Didn’t see any gay and lesbian folks mentioned? That’s queer, especially in Houston.

He’s busy working on fixing potholes right now. Will tackle the parade issue and then when time allows the horrendous City debt.

The pothole issue reminds me of Mayor White whose most noted accomplishment during his tenure was syncronizing all the stop lights. Except that White eventually ran out of lights to sync - Turner will never see an end to potholes that need filling during his term. God forbid that they should actually replace any of the decaying streets with real concrete.

These two groups have been feuding for years.

Like the Peoples' Front of Judea and the Judean Peoples' Front.....SPLITTERS!

When Comrade Bernie gets elected, attendance will be mandatory, like with May Day Parades under Communism.

February is white guilt month.

But hey, at least it's the shortest month of the year. See, Whitey can't even give us a real month.
