- The parade ends at Baltimore Street but they want us to keep moving at the end. You can walk back, take a bus (the northbound side of MLK Blvd. will be open) or have a driver wait for you on Baltimore St. or Fremont Ave.
- We will have a large white banner with the slogan: Black History is American History and our name, IC4BL, on it. The City has asked for parade participants NOT to have any signs for political campaigning or handing out literature, etc. Any signs or t-shirts, etc., celebrating Black History are welcome!!
