For nearly 50 years, the citizens of Highland Park and University Park, two small communities surrounded by the city of Dallas, have celebrated Independence Day by staging a community parade. For many years, the parade was organized by individuals and small committees of volunteers. The photographer chaired the parade for six years in the 1980s. The Park Cities Fourth of July Parade is now organized and overseen by the Park Cities Rotary Club. All images © 2007 Paul L. Gleiser. All Rights Reserved. (Click on thumbnail for larger image.)
