The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) hosted its second annual Juneteenth/Caribbean American Heritage Month Festival on June 14. The celebration—using the theme “Honoring Our Journey, Shaping Our Future”—had been set to be held on the back deck of Rockledge II, but was relocated inside, due to rainy weather. Outdoor conditions did not dampen the event, which featured Caribbean cuisine by Gwennie Trina Style Cooking and music of the region. The festival was jointly sponsored by the center’s IDEA Council and activities & events committee.
