I recently attended the Juneteenth event in downtown Decatur and shared a post about my ancestors, John and Hannah Barnett.
I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in organizing this event. It has ignited meaningful conversations within our family, rekindling memories—some painful and some truly joyous. This initiative has brought our family closer, leading to daily communications with relatives I haven’t seen in years. This experience has been profoundly moving, and I cannot thank you enough for creating this opportunity for us.
