Honor A Great Man and Attend the MLK Grande Parade
In today’s world filled with constant chaos and turmoil, greatness and exceptional character need to be celebrated. History has shown us examples of how to get through troubling times. Some incredible figures have taught us that oppression and injustice do not have to be tolerated. While we could easily name hundreds of people who have made a positive impression on culture and what it values, there is one that no one could dispute: Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a man that constantly fought for equality, but he didn’t fight with weapons, his battle was fought with love, kind words, and peace.
While his example is one we should honor every day, in just a few short weeks, we will pay his memory and his message special homage. The annual MLK Grande Parade in the heart of Houston is a weekend filled with exciting events that appropriately honor Martin Luther King, Jr.
The event kicks off on Saturday, January 13th at 12:00 pm with the 12th Annual MLK Youth Parade. Expected to attract more than 200,000 in-person spectators, the parade will feature participants from across the US and will be co-lead by the Stephen F. Austin High School Marching Band of Houston and the Huntington High School Marching Band of Shreveport.
Sunday, January 14th is also filled with a wonderful tribute to Martin Luther King, as the 17th Annual Battle of the Bands Competition kicks off. Taking place at 4:00 pm at the W.W. Thorne Stadium, this event will feature 20 nationally acclaimed high school bands from across the country. Finally, the celebration concludes on Monday, January 15th with the 24th Annual MLK Grande Parade. For two exciting hours, this festive parade will travel from midtown at San Jacinto Street and Elgin Street and will make its way to Webster Street.
Come and join us at The Camberg Law Firm and celebrate an incredible man who continues to teach us important lessons. It’s a weekend filled not only with fun and cheer, but it brings us together and honors the message of love and unity Martin Luther King Jr. fought so hard to preserve.

As we begin to rebuild our lives and our city in the coming weeks and months, it’s extremely important that you know the next steps, and more importantly, your rights when it comes to flood damage. I’ve Just Been in a Flood- What Do I Do Now? There are several safety precautions that must be taken in order to move forward after a flood. Ideally, you should not return to your home until authorities have deemed it safe, and a qualified electrician should assess your home in case of any detrimental damage to your main electrical panel. After you’re given clearance, use extreme caution when entering your home, and check the foundation to make sure that the walls are still sturdy and safe.
