On this edition of Access Houston it’s all about Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We welcome the President of The Greater Houston Frontiers Club, Mr. Donnell Cooper, who reminds us of The 31st Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Breakfast happening at the George R. Brown Convention Center on MLK Day. He also tells us that scholarships are available and gives us a preview to the 26th Annual Golf Tournament happening in March.

Our next conversation is with the COO of the Black Heritage Society, Mr. Sylvester Brown. Mr. Brown is excited to announce BHS’ 41st Annual Original MLK Parade, which is now backed by the City of Houston, to unify MLK Day. Mr. Brown tells us about the history of the original MLK parade, the new parade route, the Grand Marshals – Congressman John Lewis and Houston Astros George Springer. After the parade, it’s the 3rd Annual MLK Parade Festival with live music, vendors, and so much more.

Thank you for listening!
