The 29th annual Harlem Holiday Lights festival returns next Tuesday, with a parade and tree lighting ceremony. We hear from the grand marshals about this year's theme of peace and unity.
We spoke with this year's grand marshals, celebrity chef Melba Wilson owner of Melba's Restaurant, and founder Barbara Askins the president and CEO of the 125th Street Business Improvement District.
"To serve as grand marshal, I'm like wow. But it also shows kids of color if we can do it, they can do," Wilson said. "When everyone comes to see the different areas -- this parade goes up Malcolm X, it goes on 116th Street, 125th Street. We have created a big cross in the middle of Harlem that we're going to traverse through," Askins added.
