The Black Heritage Society, Inc. is a self-help, non-profit organization chartered by the State of Texas. In the summer of 1974, one man's concern for the well-being and betterment of the entire human race led to the organization's establishment. In January 1978, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s father, Martin Luther "Daddy" King, Sr., addressed the Houston community. He commissioned Mr. Ovide Duncantell and BHS to continue pursuing Dr. King's dream aspirations. As a result, the late Founder Ovide Duncantell Jr. led the first MLK Jr. Day Parade in the United States.

The organization aims to inspire, promote, and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the federal holiday weekend, to occur on the third Monday of each January, with a commemorative parade and celebratory festive community activities throughout the weekend.

Each year Black Heritage Society and the City Of Houston host the "Original" MLK Jr. Day Parade in Downtown Houston, and we are glad to offer it again! See unforgettable experiences, marching Band, dancing, decorating cars, trucks, art activation, and more! The Parade and Festival are free for the public to attend and Family Friendly.
