Juneteenth Chapel Hill-Carrboro’s inaugural Juneteenth celebration began June 18, with a virtual program that included local figures like former Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee and Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP President Dawna Jones. Festivities continued on June 19 with remarks made by historian Danita Mason-Hogans, Carrboro Mayor Pro Tem Barbara Foushee, Orange County Board of Commissioners Chair Renee Price and North Carolina Senator Valerie Foushee on the Carrboro Town Commons. A motorcade proceeded through historically Black communities with some drivers starting at the Hargraves Community Center and continuing through the Northside neighborhood while others rode from the Eubanks Road Park-and-Ride through the Rogers Road neighborhood. The celebrations continued on Saturday with the Save the Music series featuring performances such as XOXOK at Peace and Justice Plaza and Allie Capo at Blue Dogwood Public Market.
