SERGEANT HERMAN MILLER

Sergeant Herman Allen, Vietnam veteran and pioneering parade entrepreneur, has served as parade chair of YWCA Greater Charleston's MLK Parade for 21 years. Retired from the US Army, he is a recipient of the Purple Heart and a two-time recipient of the Bronze Star for heroic achievements. "The parade gives us an opportunity to spread the message to the community to let all know what Dr. King did," he says. When he began, there were 32 entrants in the parade. Last year, there were more than 200.
