The free community festival will
feature live entertainment, food ven­
dors, a merchant markertplace, in­
formation booths and a children’s
area with storytelling, bounce
houses, arts and crafts, and a times
table challenge presented by Harriett
Tubman Leadership Academy for
Young Women.
A second Juneteenth event will
take place on the comer of MLK and
Alberta on both Saturday, June 18,
and Sunday, June 19.
Woody Broadnax, the organizer
of the new event, said the celebra­
tion will include a call to action re­
garding the livability of the commu­
nity; how we educate; and how we
bring about behaviors that lead to a
successful future for everybody.
The significance in the celebra­
tion of Juneteenth, he said, must
include actions, which allow young
people of the community to leave
more successful in what they do.
“It can’t just be a booty shakin’
party,” he explained. “We need to
lift them up. It’s for the people.”
