To celebrate the national MLK day holiday, the Heritage Council is sponsoring the 2008 Community March. The purpose of this 14th annual Community March is to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy while uplifting diversity and multi-culturalism in our city. The 2008 MLK Community March kicks off at 9 a.m. with a short program at the MLK Statue on the University of Texas campus. Thereafter, we will march to the historic Huston-Tillotson University, where exciting activities are planned. The march is lead again this year by our Grand Marshal State Representative Dawnna Dukes.

The Heritage Council is planning a Cultural Festival which will begin after the March and last until 3 p.m.; it will include all types of vendors and local musical artists to make the 2008 Celebration the best ever! A vendor application can be downloaded below for those interested in purchasing booth space. For questions and information, please contact Cheryl Lee by email or by telephone at (512) 671-8905.
