The Bud Billiken Day Parade and Picnic, 1929-2000

Beschreibung

The Bud Billiken Day Parade and Picnic was launched on August 11, 1929, by Robert S. Abbott, the founder of the Chicago Defender newspaper, as a token of appreciation for young carriers of the newspaper who contributed to the paper's success. This parade would become an annual event celebrated with much fun and served as a symbol of racial identity, racial pride and empowerment for Chicago's black community. The Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic established a tradition that highlighted underprivileged youth, promoted education, provided entertainment, encouraged family togetherness, and served as a symbol of accomplishment for Chicago's African American community.
