The 96th annual Bud Billiken "It Takes a Village" back to school festival | Full Special

Founded in 1929 by Chicago Defender publisher Robert Sengstacke Abbott, the Bud Billiken Parade has long stood as a cultural institution committed to uplifting Black youth and promoting education. This year’s parade—featuring marching bands, dancers, community organizations, floats, and hundreds of CPS educators—will begin at 39th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and conclude at Washington Park. As one of this year’s honorary marshals, Davis Gates—a child of the great migration, public school graduate and parent and history teacher—is a living example of what the Bud Billiken Parade is all about. It symbolizes the dreams our ancestors held for us—and the responsibility we hold to protect those dreams today. The CTU’s participation continues to underscore its commitment to the future of public education in Chicago, from the historic expansion of Sustainable Community Schools to its continued fight for fair state funding and wraparound supports like school nurses, counselors, and librarians. The Bud Billiken Parade is the largest and Blackest back-to-school parade in the nation and is expected to draw thousands of families, educators, and supporters from across the city. #live #news #chicago Subscribe to CBS News Chicago on YouTube:    / cbschicago   Watch CBS News 24/7: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/live CBS News on Pluto TV: https://pluto.tv/us/live-tv/62cdc75b1...
