Westford’s First Juneteenth Celebration at the Westford Museum with Leslie Howard

Immediately following the flag raising on the town common – approximately 9:30am – head over to the Westford Museum where we will be treated to a spoken historical account of slavery in Westford from Westford Historical Society’s President and local author, Leslie Howard and acknowledgement of a Westford-born, revolution-area black solider. These historical accounts will add context and richness of this special inaugural celebration Juneteenth in Westford.

Leslie Howard is the author of “Once Known: A History of Slavery in Westford.”
