"Went to JUNETEENTH Festival Friendly fun great day So many wonderful vendors Food and drinks were delicious I had wonderful day Saw people I hadn't seen in years!"
"Small park located on McArthur Highway in Peoria, Illinois named after John H. Gwynn Jr. who served as president of the Peoria NAACP for 32 years from 1961 to 1993. Mr. Gwynn worked hard to desegregate the community and is sometimes referred to as Peoria's Doctor Martin Luther King. This park commemorates Mr Gwynn's contributions to the city of Peoria and marks his place in Peoria history."
