35th Annual African American Parade Celebration rolling in downtown, Shreveport
SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - Over its many years, the African American Parade Celebration has brought many cultures together to have fun and learn Black history.
On Feb. 4, the parade will start rolling on Milam Street at 11 a.m. and will continue for four hours. Multiple different businesses, community organizations, bands, cheerleaders, and a lot of history will be on display for the parade. The theme of this year’s parade is “Black Resistance”.
”It’s about everybody standing together, everybody enjoying together, and everybody learning together. At the end of the day when people leave away from the celebration we wanna make sure that people learn something that day that they didn’t know before February 4th or before February, so that way they can pass the good news on,” says Barbara Norton, the parade coordinator.
