don't rain on my parade
the parade, which began on august 11, 1929, now includes politicians, beauty queens, celebrities, musical performers, and dozens of marching, tumbling and dancing groups. it has grown from a locally sponsored event to one with major corporate presence and is seen as a signal of the impending end of summer and beginning of the new school year. as such the parade sponsors raise money for college scholarships for local youth. the parade route has changed over the years. the original route was along michigan avenue beginning at 31st street, then turned east into washington park. complaints for north-south traffic flow caused rerouting the parade route to south parkway (now named dr. martin luther king, jr. drive), which runs directly into the park. at various times, street repairs have necessitated use of the michigan route, but the current route is now the king drive route. freeman gosden and charles correll of "amos 'n' andy" were the first guests in the first parade. robert s. abbott led the first parade in his rolls royce. dr. marjorie stewart joyner, president of the chicago defender charities, inc., organized the parade for over 50 years. numerous high-profile celebrities and dignitaries have attended the parade over the years, including u.s. president harry s. truman, michael jordan, joe louis, muhammad ali, duke ellington, adelaide hall, oprah winfrey, diana ross, lena horne, ethel waters, cab calloway, paul robeson, chaka khan and billie holiday. truman rode alongside john h. sengstacke, who was abbott's nephew and took over the "chicago defender" in 1948, and mayor richard j. daley in the 1956 parade. recent parades have featured popular musical acts as concert performers at the post-parade picnic. in 2006, approximately 26 million people saw the parade, including 25 million television viewers and 1.2 million attendees. the 2006 parade included 74,000 participants and 160 floats and vehicles. the 2008 parade was dedicated to actor and comedian bernie mac (star of "the bernie mac show") and a native of chicago; he died an hour before the start of the parade. in 1993, a request by a black lgbt group to participate in the parade was declined by the organizers. following legal action and the involvement of lambda legal, the ad hoc committee of proud black lesbians and gays was allowed to participate in the parade the following year.
