The details
The parade is set for 10 a.m. on Jan. 15 in the Douglass community, a historically Black neighborhood in downtown Plano. The parade will begin at the mural located on 12th Place off of I Avenue.
Following the parade will be a celebration at the corner of I Avenue and 13th Street and the Plano African American Museum at 900 13th Street will be open.

The museum will also be displaying its “Influencers, Trailblazers and Disruptors,” exhibit, and Toni Thomas added that the museum will have a wall dedicated to Martin Luther King on Jan. 15.
