What Does Freedom Require of Us Now?
Juneteenth marks the announcement of freedom on June 19, 1865.
On this day we gather to ask a question that has echoed through generations:
What does freedom require of us now?
Our ancestors asked it in 1846 before there was a church building to ask it in. They asked it again in 1860. As Concord moves toward its 180th year, we ask it once more.
