Martin Luther King Jr. Day events in Oklahoma were noticeably impacted by two unique circumstances Monday. Every year, usually . they have the marching groups. Next year, we ll be back with the walking groups, with the dancing groups, said Tulsa s MLK Day Parade emcee Rebecca Marks-Jimerson, doing color commentary for a livestream of the event. But this year, because of the COVID, we are doing the social distancing. But we re making it happen for you.
Bands and other marchers were kept from the route due to the pandemic, and in-person spectators were discouraged and directed to TV broadcasts and the livestream.
