@RNGDave and I are at today's Juneteenth Celebration hosted by the Black Led Action Coalition at #AltonBakerPark in #EugeneOregon.
"This is a celebration of Black joy."
Listening to a woman born in 1946 who says that her parents were listed as White on her birth certificate as Sacred Heart didn't want others to know that they had allowed a POC to give birth there.
She says Sacred Heart has never refuted her claims.
It's a dance party
As I was walking back to my car for a break, I overheard one of the women directing traffic that only BIPOC could park in the nearest two parking lots to the event. If you are not a BIPOC, you are directed to the farther parking lots.
Back at the event. They let me in with a little hassle about my press pass.
