Dr. Otis Johnson, former mayor of Savannah, will act as the grand marshal of the 2nd annual TybeeMLK Parade.

Johnson currently works as a scholar in residence at Savannah State University, one of the many educational institutions he has attended in his career.

The parade begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 10 and will process from the Tybee Walker Parker Pier to the Old School Cafeteria - YMCA.
