Lake Junaluska hosts its first-ever Juneteenth celebration
"Juneteenth has made its way to public awareness in the last few years, and was just made the 11th federal holiday. However, months before the vote to solidify that, the decision was made to host an event in Haywood County commemorating the day that the last enslaved individuals in America were told they had been emancipated." Kyle Perrotti of The Mountaineer has the story. |
