Juneteenth is a Celebration  of Freedom.  The 2022 celebration was held on June 18th at the Medway Community Farm.  Juneteenth 2022 was sponsored by Medway Marches, in collaboration with the Town of Medway and Medway Community Farm.

This year’s event was designed to promote and support local Black owned businesses and Black Artists, while bringing the greater Medway community together in a way that hasn’t been done before.

Angelica Crosby was presented a citation from the MA House of Representatives in recognition of her work on Establishing Medway Marches and her Commitment to  Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our Community by State Representative Jeffrey Roy.  (see photos below)
