Hay un error en el inglés. Debe ser:

The governor led the parade.

Maybe it was meant to be The governor leads the parade?

El gobernador encabeza la parada/el desfile.

Si es así hay errores en el español y el inglés. Además es un error inglés bastante fácil de hacer:
lead (pronunciado lid si lo lees como español): encabezar, liderar (infinitivo, presente)
led (pronunciado led): pasado del mismo verbo
lead (pronunciado led): plomo

Crotalito, en inglés generalmente el adjetivo va antes del sustantivo, así que es "the Mexican revolution".
