With the Fourth of July right around the corner, families are ready to celebrate American independence. At Saturday’s Juneteeth Festival, families and friends were also celebrating independence, a freedom they say is still being fought for every day. The Gainesville-Hall County Black History Society held a festival at the Midtown Greenway Space and Park in Gainesville that celebrated freedom and raised awareness for those who are still not free.
