7th Annual San Antonio African American Book Festival
Power of Black Literature
Black Literature has shaped our history, culture and who we are as a people
Representation Matters
Studies show people are more likely to read when they have access to books written by authors they can identify with, about subjects and characters in a voice that resonates with them
Black Economics
Buying Black is more than a trend - it's a necessary way of life! Circulating Black dollars is one of the single most important things we can do to improve the economic health of the Black Community

MLK Parade Downtown Houston
The MLK Unity Parade
On January 19, 2026, it will be restored to its full glory! The Original MLK Parade and the MLK Grande Parade will be held in one location!
Get ready for the Big MLK Unity Parade! Each parade entity will have its own Grand Marshal and unique entries. We are thrilled to announce that the Original MLK Parade, organized by the Black Heritage Society Inc., will proudly feature the legendary "MADD HATTA" as our Grand Marshal!
After 48 years, the Original MLK Parade will join as a single, unified event in January 2026. The Black Heritage Society, Inc. is thrilled to announce our joint initiative to unite the two parades, the Original MLK Jr. Parade and the MLK Grande Parade, at a single location in downtown Houston. In honor of the Late Ovide Duncantell Jr, we are dedicated to leading the parade and embracing the sacrifices needed as we move forward into the next chapter of our story.
This moment is deeply significant as we navigate a world often lacking in genuine love, meaningful conversations, honesty, and healing. Previous efforts to merge the two parades were unsuccessful, but this year has brought about a development under the leadership of the City of Houston Mayor John Whitmire. Recognizing the divisive climate, a plan for unification was successfully negotiated. Teresa, president of the Black Society, acknowledged the history between the late founder, Ovide Duncantell Jr., and a former employee, which resulted in a judgment against Mr. Charlie Stamps. While African Americans have consistently demonstrated their capacity for agape love, it is equally important to celebrate our uniqueness and foster solidarity as we embody sacrificial love. By sharing our story, we aim to cultivate mutual respect and understanding, promoting a spirit of love for all people while advocating for justice, freedom, and inclusion for everyone.
Our theme for 2026: Life can present challenges, but a world filled with justice, compassion, freedom, and unity creates an atmosphere of Hope for all people!
Exciting activities for children and some free giveaways! Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
Let's continue to march forward together. As our late Civil Rights Leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, said, "We must learn to live together as brothers, or perish as fools." Join us in the unified MLK Unity Parade on January 19, 2026, at 10 am in Downtown Houston at 900 Smith and Lamar Street for this Historic Event. We invite all of Houston and the USA! Our health awareness efforts are centered on Sickle Cell.
