POTSDAM - The Juneteenth Celebration Organizing Committee is busy planning this year's family-friendly event, celebrating the culture of African-Americans and providing a space for Black voices to be honored.

Public participation is sought for a planning and brainstorming session on Tuesday, Feb. 21, from 7-8 p.m. in Potsdam.

It will be held at the Potsdam Community Room (behind and above the Public Library, on the third floor), with parking at 38 Main St. This venue is wheelchair accessible.
