‘We celebrate all’: America’s diversity and concern on display at San Jose Fourth of July parade

SAN JOSE — Some came some gaudily dressed on Friday, others barely so. Some carried signs, others held flags. And a decent-sized contingent showing their style on their classic cars.

Most along The Alameda glittered in an assortment of red, white and blue, but they weren’t alone: Others sported the green, white and red of Mexico’s flag, some were displaying all the colors of the rainbow. One group — Miss Teen Saigon and her court — shined in the colors of both the American and Vietnamese flags, riding in a Tesla.
