17th Annual Sojourner Truth Memorial Celebration
On Sunday, May 26, we gathered with members of the community to celebrate Sojourner Truth and this year's high school scholarship recipients: Wesley L. Days, Jr., Jada Ficarra, and Yacine Norris-Fall. During a beautiful afternoon, we enjoyed inspirational music by the Alden Baptist Church Youth Choir of Springfield, a reflective keynote by the Rev. Dr. Peter B. Ives, and enlightening addresses by the three scholarship recipients. Check out our photo gallery for the afternoon's highlights.
