Good morning, Leesburg.

Community members gathered at Historic Douglass High School in Leesburg on June 2 to raise the Juneteenth flag and reflect on the Emancipation Proclamation and Civil Rights movement—Freedom Rider Hazekiah Watkins urged young people to continue fighting for justice.

Local leaders, including Mayor Kelly Burk, stressed that Juneteenth is a national holiday celebrating freedom and a call to action for all.

A historical marker was dedicated on Sunday afternoon in Lucketts to honor Gen. Anthony Wayne’s crossing of the Potomac River in 1781 by the Sons of the American Revolution—this marker is the first of three planned, with additional signs to be placed along Rt.

15 north of Leesburg and at the Goose Creek and Evergreen Mills Road intersection.
