Before this important date became to the public's attention a short time ago. It was never taught in schools even the one I attended one the City which had a good percentage of girls from African heritage. That is why it is so important for children in all of our schools to get the real story of our history and no leaving out of the true facts so we all understand that it is still not a perfect Union but we can keep trying to make it one.

Thank you for reminding us that unless all of us are free none of us is free. Never more important than today.

Thanks. I am not sure how many in Croton know this local history, or the history of Juneteenth for that matter. I would like to think many but that is probably unlikely.

I would be fine with PVC Middle School being renamed.
