Yesterday I went to Olde Naples to watch and photograph the MLK parade. It was surprising in many ways. It was briefer than in past years and there were fewer observers than usual. Most of the parade participants -- about 90 percent -- were white. I couldn't decide if that was progress or something else.
I struggled to find MLK imagery.
A Black sorority was well represented.
Off to the side in Cambier Park, a woman led about a dozen teenagers in song.
This young man was soloist.
She had a wonderful smile. I wish I knew her.
Miss South Naples shyly let me photograph her.
Down the street, a woman was anything but shy.
Wonderful photos from this parade. No matter what our race, we should honor MLK for the humanity and decency he brought to our nation.
