WHAT DOES MLK DAY MEAN TO BALTIMORE?
Every year the city of Baltimore celebrates and commemorates the life of civil rights leader and icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. More than 70 local groups participate in the parade – including high school and community bands, honor/color guards, equestrian units, fraternities & sororities, dance squads and civic organizations.
In 2018 we followed the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts as they prepared to kick off the MLK Day parade in Baltimore. A lot has changed, but the spirit hasn’t budged.
