(Jun 19, 2024) Watertown Juneteenth is hosting the second part of its Juneteenth celebrations today. Organizers hope the events inspire other Black people to share their stories; while a national memorial for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans goes through a lengthy planning and fundraising process, veterans are working with state and local governments to build smaller monuments around the country; and, two ducks. A goose. And competing taco trucks. That's all part of a new kids book out now from Canton author, Laura Lavoie.
