The 24th annual Juneteenth celebration in Aurora is more than a festival—it’s a powerful tribute to freedom, heritage, and togetherness. In this episode of Talking Cities: Aurora, Diane Moca speaks with Rickey Rogers of African American Men of Unity, the organization behind the event. From Afrocentric music and dance to local vendors, youth talent shows, and cultural storytelling, the event offers fun for all ages while honoring the legacy of Juneteenth. Held June 14 at MLK Park, the free celebration invites the entire community to come together in joy, respect, and unity.
