Rain and a brisk mid 40s temperatures may have kept the crowd at bay, but it did not diminish the positive spirit evoked by the 27th annual African American Heritage Parade that was held Oct. 4.
More than 30 groups and organizations participated this year. Some participants included, Prince Hall Masonic Lodge G.L.F.M, the Mt. Ararat Baptist Church Girl Scout Troup #45280; the Soldiers and Sailors Drum Corps, led by historian John Ford, the Pittsburgh Black Media Federation (PBMF), B-Pep, and Allegheny County Housing Authority, just to name a few.
Also marching were representatives from Omega Psi Phi and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternities and the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
