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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Morrow Solomon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3659753149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783659753145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LAP Lambert Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Morrow Solomon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437337030911,"sku":"9783659753145","price":43.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adc723b9-cb3d-49d9-bf8d-57e1bd78f746.jpg?v=1777161133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bud-billiken-day-parade-morrow-solomon-9783659753145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
