Insights on the

While no expert, her approach has been to listen and try to understand both narratives of this fraught political battlefield.

In the morning, they worked at the Lord's Gym. They moved heavy exercise equipment, cleaned and served refreshments to the neighbors at the gym. The Lord’s Gym is a weight-lifting, work out, and long-term discipleship program designed to teach at-risk men values and principles that avoid destructive lifestyles while nurturing their relationship with God.

JUNETEENTH!
June 19th
NOW a Federal Holiday!
|

Lydia Morgan, RE-Kennedy Heights, REMJF was on the front page of the Cincinnati Enquirer on June 17th for her work championing and heading the Juneteenth celebrations in Cincinnati for the last 30 years!

Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.
