New Park, Enduring History: Nashua Hosts Its First Juneteenth on the Riverwalk

"Juneteenth is for families. It's about the freedom, the gathering, the happiness, the communication, and it's for every family in Nashua — our Black community with every other family," Abud said. "Today we share with everybody that we are free, that we can be ourselves."
