The weather could not have been more perfect for a Juneteenth celebration at the Fishers Nickel Plate Amphitheater Sunday afternoon.  There was music, food, nonprofit groups and plenty of commercial tents if you were in a buying mood.

Juneteenth was enacted as a federal holiday about one year ago in celebration of the end of slavery in America.  The last slaves notified of their freedom in the United States were in Galveston Texas, so Juneteenth is a way to mark an end to a black mark on American history – slavery.

The Fishers event was put together by groups of students at Fishers and HSE High Schools.
