Tulsa’s 47th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade was held Monday in the Historic Greenwood District. The motto for this year’s event was “New Day. Same Dream.”
There were more than 125 participants ranging from businesses, churches, dance troupes, nonprofits, schools and more. Hundreds of people waved and tossed candy to bundled up paradgoers lining the streets as the temperature hovered around 30 degrees.
According to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Society, Tulsa hosts the third largest MLK Day Parade in the nation.
The parade began at the corner of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and John Hope Franklin boulevards before winding through the Greenwood District and ending at ONEOK Field.
