Everyone has experienced freedom in a different way; personal and family stories are the ones that hold the most meaning. Here is the place to share those stories with the whole community.

 I'm so excited about the Black History Family Festival today! THIS is true freedom! Having the ability to come together in a public place and express our interests and participate in a community event is wonderful, something that doesn't exist in countries where freedom is curtailed. God bless America!
