Updated: Link to video here :1990 WBCA Parade Laredo, TX
I have finally been able to upload at least a small portion of the footage of the 1990 WBCA Parade. The first footage I was able to capture was former Mayor Raul Salinas being interviewed by KLDO's Lupita Benavides. Raul is looking young and he still had quite a bit of hair! You can view this footage here! Updated: You can view part one of the 1990 WBCA Parade here!
Come back in a few days and you will be able to see more of the 1990 WBCA Parade. Including Cigarroa High students doing the lambada dance, parade participants in blackface and former hero / Mayor Tatangelo doing his golden boy bit. Oh, I miss the 90s.

WBCA Washington Parade 1990 (What I learned)
If you follow me over on the ol' Twitter account, then you are aware I recently picked up some home movies on VHS at a local thrift store. Some of those tapes included some truly gold vintage TV recordings. One such treasure was titled Washington's Parade 1990 and its a taping off the TV broadcast of this WBCA event. I sat down and watched most of the recording as it was truly fascinating.
Hopefully, I will be able to upload the video to my Youtube channel in the next few days. For now, here are a few things I learned while watching a recording of the 1990 WBCA Washington's Parade.

Apparently, Laredo in 1990 had no qualms with using blackface. |
Lupita Benavides was already looking great with her sweet 1989 hair. |
Cigarroa High students danced the Lambada and nobody batted an eye. #Forbidden |
