Dr. Kendall L. Baker will be attending several events leading up to Monday, January 21, 2019, to honor the living legacy and contributions of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to the civil rights movement.

Bill King is serving on the MLK Grande Parade Advisory Board and as one of the Co-Grand Marshals of the MLK Grande Parade on Monday, January 21, 2019. Tony Buzbee is also serving as a Co-Grand Marshal of the MLK Grande Parade on Monday, January 21, 2019.

Baker, Booker T (the hall-of-fame wrestler-- possibly), Demetria Smith (a 2015 candidate for mayor), and a host of others are expected to challenge Mayor Sylvester Turner in the November 2019 race for Mayor of Houston, Texas.
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. I’m elated that the City of Houston will be participating in the 2019 MLK Festivities, but disappointed to announce that once again, there will be two competing Martin Luther King, Jr. Parades in the Bayou City on Monday, January 21, 2019. In case you don’t know, Mayor Sylvester Turner announced his support for the 41st MLK Parade back on Thursday, July 12, 2018, saying that the City of Houston will partner with the Black Heritage Society, which organized the nation’s first Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade more than 40 years ago. So, if you would like to attend what Mayor Sylvester Turner is considering “HOUSTON’S OFFICIAL MLK PARADE” it’s scheduled to start at Houston City Hall at the corner of Smith and McKinney at 10:00 AM on Monday, January 21, 2019 rain or shine!
THE 2019 MLK GRANDE PARADE
While some Houstonians will be joining Mayor Sylvester Turner in support of the 41st Annual MLK Day Parade, many other Houstonians will be in Midtown celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the MLK Grande Parade which, according to it’s founder is the third largest Parade in the United States of America behind only The Rose Parade and The Macy’s Day Parade. This year, the organizers of the MLK Grande Parade are expecting more than 300,000 spectators with a viewing audience of more than 4,000,000 according to their website. And just in case you don’t know, over 30 Marching Bands are expected to participate in the 25th Annual MLK Grande Parade scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM on Monday, January 21, 2019, at the corner of San Jacinto Street and Elgin Street.

Please allow these "HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS" to serve as "PROOF POSITIVE" that your dream can come true too! And I implore you to remember these timeless words spoken forth by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that still ring true today: "Everybody can be great ... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."
