The streets of downtown Ft. Myers will be lined with spectators this Sunday – taking in the 68^th Annual Dunbar Easter Parade.   The parade is a  tradition dating back to 1945.  The driving force behind its creation was Evelyn Sams Canady – a teacher who wanted her black students to have a celebration of their own to rival the City of Palms annual Festival of Light.  Sams Canady was Daisy Upshaw Benjamin’s third grade teacher.  The retired educator and volunteer with the Lee County Black History  Society has fond memories of Sams Canady and the Parade.
