North Burial Ground Juneteenth Commemoration

North Burial Ground and the Juneteenth Project will collaborate again for our second annual honor roll reading and flower laying ceremony in honor of the Black soldiers of the civil war buried in the Grand Army of the Republic’s Prescott Post lot. We take this time every year to reflect on the profound sacrifice of these brave men who fought to preserve our union, for their own freedom and the freedom of their brothers and sisters in bondage. Juneteenth celebrates a day when a more complete freedom was extended throughout or nation, and we come together to reflect on what that means as well look back at the Declaration of Independence, and forward as country.

Meet at the Grand Army of the Republic's lot & park on North Main Street.
