The president of the Black Heritage Society, Teresa Brewer, announced that Claude Cummings, Jr., Regional Vice President of Communications Workers of America, Gilbert Andrew Garcia, Managing Partner, and Al Kashani, President of Horizon United Group as co-grand marshals.

This year’s parade will kick off with Texas Southern University’s beloved Ocean of Soul band, followed by dozens of colorful floats, marching bands, and special surprises.
