CHEYENNE — Dozens of community members of all races, ethnicities and backgrounds came together Saturday for the annual Juneteenth Freedom Celebration in Martin Luther King Jr. Park.
As the sun was shining down, people could be seen barbecuing, grabbing a snow cone, getting their faces painted and stopping by vendor booths.
Rita Watson speaks about history during the Juneteenth event at Martin Luther King Jr. Park on Saturday in Cheyenne. The annual event commemorates the date in 1865 that people in Texas learned that slavery was a thing of the past in the United States.
