Bud Billiken Parade - Has 80 Ever Been So Sweet?

From Jennifer Roche, About.com Guide   August 4, 2009

I've got to believe that this year's Bud Billiken Parade may be the sweetest yet.

The parade has spanned generations of African-American families to reach a most notable milestone of its 80th year running. But, even more thrilling is that there's a south side African-American in the White House, and he used to march in this very parade. Certainly sounds to me like great reasons for a celebration all over again. Follow Me on Twitter | Find Me on Facebook
