As North Carolina continues to relax COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, many Chapel Hill residents are looking forward to attending festivals and concerts within the community again. Chapel Hill Community Arts & Culture is hosting events curated from community feedback with the first set for next week.
The Chapel Hill and Carrboro communities were among many which celebrated Juneteenth this weekend. Held for the first time as a federal holiday, one of the local events was a motorcade through historic Black communities in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
Located on the columns in front of the Old Post Office on Franklin Street, three new banners hang in the Peace and Justice Plaza. Designed by Triangle Artist Victoria Primicias, the orange, blue and yellow banners are representative of several state issues and symbols.
