The Sabathanites Drum Corps, an African American drum corps founded in 1964, participates in the Aquatennial Parade in Minneapolis after boycotting the event for forty-three years. Drum corps members began the boycott in 1967 after police attacked several drum corps members as they marched in the parade.
