On a cool, overcast, fall Saturday morning, was perfect for this grand occasion. Coordinated by Ms. France Yarbrough,  the Phillis Wheatley Senior High School Wildcats flaunted Wheatley pride, by high stepping down Lyons Avenue through the heart of Fifth Ward. The parade is an annual tradition that started in the early 1950s,when PWHS and its tributary schools would parade for the community in celebration of homecoming.
