There are a cavalcade of ways to celebrate MLK Day in Houston this weekend. Here are seven:
1. Cheer for Yao Ming and the Rockets [1] as they take on Chauncey Billups and the Denver Nuggets. It's a rare 1 p.m. start time for this Monday game, so take the kiddos out and have a good time.
2. The Children's Museum [2] has a whole host of events going on, as they're one-upping your do-goodness by honoring Dr. King for the entire week. Daily activities include a Dream Wall, Family Seal, and Timeline.
3. January 18th you can learn the real meaning of MLK Day with the folks at The Raleigh/Wake Martin Luther King Celebration Committee [3].
4. The Black Heritage Society is hosting the Children's Parade & MLK Parade [4] at Minute Maid Park on January 19th.
5. (and 6.) Of course, the MLK Parade Foundation [5] will be hosting their Youth Parade (January 17) as well as the Grand Parade (January 19).
7. The Student Conservation Association [6] will be up to their usual help-thy-fellow-man antics. Join them at the Fifth Ward Community Garden Center for a restoration project on January 17th from 8 a.m. thru 12 p.m.
If you've got any others, feel free to leave them in the comments.
