New Castle celebrates Juneteenth unity and awareness
In Pennsylvania Juneteenth gains official recognition as a state holiday while New Castle hosts a block party at St. Luke AME Zion Church. Organizers, including Shayla McKnight and David Ward, seek to expand community unity and intergenerational ties with food music games and fireworks. Local leaders note momentum from Harrisburg and neighboring Farrell’s 25 year observance.
