Both Jerry Roberts and Angela McNair have organized Juneteenth events throughout the city of Erie.
Roberts is asking community members to come and walk with him at Frontier Park for the F.A.T.H.E.R. Inc Walkathon.
The walk is set to finish in about two hours or less, giving people enough time to head over to Perry Square and enjoy Erie’s Juneteenth Celebration organized by McNair.
Registration for the walkathon begins at 8 a.m. with the walk starting at 9 a.m. and Erie’s Juneteenth Celebration begins at 11 a.m. and goes through 8 p.m.
