The annual Juneteenth celebration is this Saturday, June 21, noon-7 in Riverside Park, a FREE, family-friendly event. Everyone is invited to enjoy food, live entertainment, a youth fun fair, history, education, and connection in celebration of Black Americans.

It’s always great to catch up with Shy Jackson, co-founder of Hope Restores! This week, she stopped in to chat about this year’s event with the Morning Buzz:

The La Crosse Juneteenth Celebration is sponsored by B.L.A.C.K., Hope Restores, Black Student Leaders, and The Enduring Families Project.
