Unity was the key message of the Juneteenth celebration in Junction City on Saturday. Brewel Currie, one of the coordinators for the event, estimated the attendance on a steamy, hot day at approximately 400 people. "The message we're sending is unity with our community. It's not about black, white or whatever. It's about us coming together."
Music, inspirational speeches, food and crafts were among the many highlights of the event in Heritage Park. Multiple churches were represented during the annual celebration.
