“Houston needs to unify around one event to celebrate the legacy of the great American hero, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I support Mayor Sylvester Turner and his decision to recognize the Black Heritage Society’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade as the official City of Houston MLK Day Parade. I ask all citizens to join and unite for one special MLK Day Parade in the city of Houston to celebrate Dr. King’s work, his legacy and his contributions to our society.”​
