The Krewe of Harambee continued the MLK love on Monday (1.19 - the actual Holiday) with an MLK/Mardi Gras parade through downtown Shreveport:
The Krewe was joined by local organizations and social groups (including the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha, the fraternity of MLK), plus hundreds of residents braving the chilly temperatures to see the parade and catch some beads and candy. The parade was also televised by KPXJ/CW 21.
