VINEYARDS.
SPECTATORS ARE ALL HERE TO
HONOR A PROMINENT FIGURE IN
CIVIL RIGHTS HISTORY.

SUPPORTING AND THEN SUCH A
WONDERFUL DAY AND CELEBRATING
THE LEGACY.
IT MEANS THE WORLD.
I ALWAYS COME OUT, BUT THIS
IS MY BABY'S FIRST YEAR TO COME
OUT.
I WANTED HI TO EXPERIENCE THIS
AND THE PARADE.
YEAH, MOST DEAF FINITELY TO
SEE HISTORY AND THE POSITIVE
THINGS GOING ON IN HISTORY AND
THE THINGS THAT HE DID.
IT'S NOT A PARADE EVERYDAY,
BUT THE LEGACY OF DR. KING IS A
LOT IN DALLAS.
