Seniors at San Leandro kicked off festivities early with an enlightening talk on Juneteenth's history, followed by a dance party to live music by Ron Matthews. The song repertoire honored black musician's legacies. Meanwhile, Downtown Oakland and East Oakland seniors were lead in a day of learning and reflection.
