Celebrating the Sound of America
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
As the country prepares to mark its 250th anniversary, Christ Lutheran Church in Elizabethtown will host a concert highlighting American music.
“Songs of Faith & Freedom” will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 23, at the church, 125 E. High St. The concert will feature African American spirituals, well-known hymns sung in churches for generations and lively choral pieces by American composers.
“It’s going to be a celebration of what makes the sound of America,” said Kevin Gane, Christ Lutheran music director, who is organizing the event. “We’re going to feature our pipe organ, some communal singing, some smaller ensembles. Our handbell choir is also going to perform, which is something you don’t hear that often. And then we’re going to have a few solo singers as well.”
A highlight of the concert will be a Festival Choir, featuring singers from the congregation and the community. People are invited to join the choir by contacting Gane at music@christlutheran-etown.com.
Each year, Gane organizes a series of concerts

Will Mark Juneteenth
An Unsung Hero of Civil Rights
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
William Miller Barbour may be one of the most influential Americans you’ve never heard of. But Eric Schubert and Abigail Sholes want everyone to know his name.
The historians are organizing the W. Miller Barbour Lecture Series, designed to highlight the life of the man who lived from 1908 to 1957 and made a significant impact on the civil rights movement.
“Each session will follow the same general framework of his biography and career but connects and tailors it to the specific Pennsylvania communities he influenced,” Schubert said. “The series uses Barbour’s life and career to link local history with the broader civil rights movement, especially with a lecture the week of Juneteenth and more in his native Dauphin and Lancaster counties.”

Celebrate our country’s second Independence Day at a Juneteenth concert performed by the Music for Everyone (MFE) Community Chorus. The concert will take place on Friday, June 19, at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary of Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren, 777 S. Mount Joy St.
The concert was originally scheduled for February, but inclement
weather caused its postponement. That turned out to be an opportunity, said Joe Detrick, chair of the church’s concert committee.
“In consultation with the MFE director, Darla Bair, June 19, or Juneteenth, was the only available date for this spring,” Detrick recalled.
The series will kick off on Wednesday, June 17, with a program at the Hershey History Center, 40 Northeast Drive, Hershey, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Additional programs will be held on Thursday, July 16, at the Lower Swatara Township Historic Preservation Society; Sunday, July 19, at the Griscom Education Center; Saturday, Sept. 5, at the Cumberland County Historical Society; Tuesday, Sept. 15, at Masonic Village; and Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County.
“Abigail and I are honored to share Barbour’s legacy with the public,” Schubert said. “He had lifelong advocacy for equality and opportunity, and these talks

In Memory of Malmedy
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
On Dec. 17, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, more than 80 unarmed U.S. soldiers were gunned down by German forces in what’s now known as the Malmedy Massacre. Among those impacted by this World War II event were 10 soldiers from Lancaster County, and now the Mount Joy Rotary wants to make sure they are never forgotten.
A Malmedy Massacre Memorial Dedication will be held on Sunday, June 14, from 3 to 5 p.m. It will begin with a memorial service from 3 to 3:45 p.m. at Mount Joy Church of God, 30 E. Main St. Scout Troop 39 will serve as color guard, and Rotarian David Christian will be the master of ceremonies. There will be a keynote speaker, with additional remarks by Eagle Scout Todjr Dohl. Robert Brinser and Steve Hassinger will provide special music, and chaplain Dave Lloyd will offer a prayer and benediction.
“The procession symbolizes the community’s shared journey of remembrance, honor and tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Malmedy Massacre.”
The dedication ceremony will run from 4:15 to 5 p.m. at War Memorial Park, located at the corner of Marietta Avenue and Market Street in Mount Joy.
“As guests arrive at the park, the Donegal Alumni Band will provide patriotic music to help set the tone for an afternoon of remembrance and honor for veterans, families, friends and relatives of the 10 Lancaster County soldiers connected to the memorial,” Pinkerton said.
As Christian explained, the idea for the memorial grew out of planning for the Rotary Club of Mount Joy’s 100th anniversary celebration in June of 2025.
Planning, fundraising and community partnerships to make the memorial possible began in late 2025, and groundbreaking and construction started in May.
“The original memorial concept was envisioned by Eagle Scout Todjr Dohl as part of his Eagle Scout project,” Christian said.

“Following the memorial service at Mount Joy Church of God, the color guard from Scout Troop 39, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mount Joy, will lead participants in a walking procession from the church to Mount Joy War Memorial Park for the outdoor memorial dedication ceremony,” said Rotary president Joanne Pinkerton.
At the dedication ceremony, the name of each of the soldiers who perished in the massacre will be read and a memorial bell will be rung as a flag is placed into the memorial. County Commissioner Josh Parsons will present a proclamation, and Mount Joy mayor Timothy Bradley will speak. Dohl and Collin Splain, members of Troop 53, will serve as flag handlers. Rotarians Scott Albert and Paul “Lefty” Gardner will announce the soldiers’ names. The ceremony will conclude with the playing of taps. Following the ceremony, people will be invited to remain for light refreshments and to join in celebrating the birthday of the United States Army, which is also observed on June 14.
“Inspiration for the memorial also came from Harold Billow of Mount Joy, believed to be the last living survivor connected to the Malmedy Massacre, who for many years honored his fallen comrades by placing 87 American flags in his yard on Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Dec. 17 - the anniversary of the massacre. The Rotary Club of Mount Joy embraced the project as part of its century-long tradition of 'Service Above Self,’ helping transform the vision into a permanent community memorial.”
Richard Ryder and the WWII Preservation Group will provide a military display to honor Billow and his comrades at the June 14 event. For 20 years, the WWII Preservation Group gathered with Billow, a Mount Joy resident who passed away in 2022, for lunch the day of the Mount Joy Memorial Day Parade.
“This dedication is an opportunity for the community to come together to remember and honor the courage and sacrifice of the 84 American soldiers who lost their lives during one of World War II’s most tragic events,” said Rotarian Cris Rhyner, encouraging people to attend the event. “The memorial especially recognizes the 10 Lancaster County soldiers connected to the massacre and preserves their stories for future generations. The event is intended not only as a remembrance ceremony, but also as a celebration of patriotism, community service and historical education.”
The memorial was made possible through community partnerships, donations, engraved memorial brick sponsorships, local businesses, volunteers, veteran organizations and the Mount Joy community, Rhyner said, adding, “The project reflects a united community effort to preserve local history and honor those who made
Volunteers work on constructing the site for the Malmedy Massacre Memorial.

While many Lancaster County residents may recognize Shank’s Extracts by its iconic yellow label and Pennsylvania Dutch-style border, they may not realize that this globally recognized brand originated in Elizabethtown. Guest speaker Mayor Phil Clark, a lifelong resident of Elizabethtown, will share the company’s history.
Clark will speak about the business’s origins with founder Jacob H. Shank, who was born in West Donegal Township in 1879. Shank successfully transformed a small, home-based venture into a thriving extract business operating out of 42 E.
High St. Clark will detail the involvement of the Shank family, the ultimate sale of the business following Walter Shank’s death in 1958, and its subsequent relocation to Neffsville. The program will culminate with information about the company’s modern evolution, leading up to its $100 million sale in 2021. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.

will introduce and establish the core themes - justice, dignity and community leadership - that defined his life and career.”
Schubert and Sholes both share interests in history and preserving Barbour’s impact. Schubert works as a genealogist, and both historians have done extensive research by reading both Barbour’s own publications as well as other historical documents to present a clear picture of the man.
“If someone isn’t familiar with W. Miller Barbour, the key thing to know is that he built a career that moved between national leadership and local impact,” Schubert said. “He
was an Elizabethtown College graduate and a highly trained social worker with an MSW, which shaped how he approached civil rights - practical, policy-focused and grounded in community needs.”
Schubert and Sholes, who both graduated from Elizabethtown College with history degrees, became interested in telling Barbour’s story after learning more about the leader through work with Elizabethtown College professor Jean-Paul Benowitz.
“Every detail about Barbour is interesting to us. We are fascinated by his life and career,” Schubert said. “However, one of the
biggest findings has been just how geographically wide his influence was. He moved between Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, sometimes even New York and other states, while staying focused on the same core issues of employment, housing and civil rights enforcement.”
Their extensive research has helped piece together a coherent narrative from hundreds of sources across the country, something that hasn’t been done before with Barbour’s story.
“It shows an extremely active man, constantly focused on publishing, writing and advocating for and on the issues that mattered to him,” Schubert said.
Schubert and Sholes have also been promoting Barbour’s story on multiple fronts. State Sen. Patty Kim, who represents Barbour’s native Middletown, issued an official citation honoring Barbour and the lecture series, and the Dauphin County Commissioner’s office will issue a proclamation this summer,
with plans in the works for Barbour to be honored in Lancaster County as well. The pair has also submitted articles on various aspects of Barbour’s life to academic journals and wrote a short documentary, “The Prospect for Freedom: W. Miller Barbour’s Human Rights Journey.”
Schubert hopes the lecture series will bring a man who deserves center stage into the spotlight.
“Telling W. Miller Barbour’s story matters because it fills in a gap that shouldn’t exist in the first place,” he said. “Barbour was doing the work of organizing, teaching and pushing institutions toward accountability … yet his name rarely appears in the mainstream versions of civil rights history. His early death stopped recognition of his legacy, and we want to correct the historical record and share Barbour’s incredible lessons and observations about our society.”
And for someone who loves history like Schubert does, uncovering Barbour’s influence is just one step in bringing stories like his into the limelight.
“People like W. Miller Barbour exist in multiple fields,” he said. “They are the unsung heroes who do the work and may not get as much attention as others in the field. In this case, for example, W. Miller Barbour should be remembered for his incredible role in American civil rights history and deserves to be discussed at the same level as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
Most of the lectures are free and open to the public, but some are ticketed by donation. For complete details, visit www.es publichistory.wordpress .com or search for Eric Schubert on LinkedIn.
W. Miller Barbour
called Music on High, inviting people to come to the church to enjoy a variety of performances. This concert will be the first Music on High event happening at the church since the building underwent extensive renovations to the sanctuary and nave in 2025.
“We wanted to do one big event to welcome people back into the space,” Gane said. “This concert is an opportunity to feature our choral ensembles here at Christ Lutheran but also a celebration of the history of music in America.”
Following the concert, everyone is invited to enjoy an ice cream social on the lawn.
The idea for the event came from Gane’s experience in his home church in Media.
“In the congregation I grew up in, we did a concert like this,” he recalled, describing the event that featured a concert and an opportunity to socialize at an ice cream social. “I just remember it being one of the highlights of our musical year there, and I thought, 'Why not try and do the same thing here?’ The response has been very positive.”
When putting together the lineup for the concert, Gane focused on the history of America and its musical traditions.
“This country was founded on a lot of ideals, one of them being the exploration of faith,” he said. “Along with that comes different musical traditions, so you’re going to hear things from traditional Shaker hymns to American spirituals to some classic patriotic tunes. … Sacred music and hymns will be an important part of the program, reminding us
how closely faith and music have been connected in our nation’s history.”
Gane noted that he’s in the early planning stages of this year’s Music on High series.
“We usually run our season from September through May, but because of the renovation, we kind of truncated this past season,” he said. “A full season announcement for this coming year will be coming out very soon.”
Gane hopes people will attend “Songs of Faith & Freedom” to join in the community festival choir and to enjoy fellowship with friends at the ice cream social.
He noted that the concert provides more than just an opportunity to hear the wide variety of music that has shaped our nation.
“We really designed concerts like this to share our space with people who may not necessarily get into a church and are just curious about what the building looks like inside,” he said. “But the concert is also an opportunity to then share the gifts of music and community.”
There is no charge to attend the concert or ice cream social, and no reservations are required.
