The Juneteenth holiday was celebrated Sunday in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. "Juneteenth means freedom, that's what it means. It means that we are here — Black people, we're not going anywhere," said attendee Taylor Gordon, of Coram. "And this is a day that we can celebrate something that really means something for us."
