First Parish Bedford UU Church on the Common, 71 The Great Road, will host an informal gathering in front of the church to commemorate Juneteenth.  We welcome everyone who would like  to honor the day with us to attend. We will have some short readings about the day and the early residents of color in Bedford, and then walk to the African  Reservation in the old cemetery to lay flowers.  Please bring flowers from your garden if you would like.
