Statement from the organizers: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our founder, Mr. Ovide Duncantell who was a visionary and brave leader. He was committed to advocacy, activism and action for the community. It's because of him that the very first MLK Day parade in the nation was created. We are even more committed to honoring and continuing his and Dr. King’s legacy, and keeping the dream alive. We ask that our wishes for privacy and time to grieve are respected." - Sylvester Brown Chief Operating Officer of the Black Heritage Society, producers of the Original MLK Day Parade
