I thoroughly enjoyed all of this year’s Juneteenth celebrations and the photos of the festivities. As always, I appreciate your coverage of our community.

Brace Yourselves

Between the ICE raids, the looming threat of World War III, and the extreme temperatures, I’m not sure what to brace for next. Still, I maintain my resolve and recognize that elections have consequences, and the American people have spoken; this is what it is. May we all learn from history.
