SHHS students: ‘Say their names’
On Juneteenth at 7 a.m., the Wallingford-Swarthmore Sunrise hub executed a banner drop over the bridge on Chester Road over I-476. June 19, also known as Juneteenth, is the day on which enslaved people in Texas were finally granted freedom — two and a half years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The banner read “Say Their Names” and listed the names of recent Black victims of racially motivated police brutality and violence.
