Juneteenth: Wisdom woven into fabric helped enslaved people find freedom
On June 19, or Juneteenth as it's been termed, the monumental end to slavery in the United States is celebrated. Throughout history, countless enslaved individuals sought freedom guided by the wisdom woven into freedom quilts. Dr. Kim D. Harris, a mixed media textile folk artist, said each unique shape on the quilt carried a secret message. The patterns served as coded signals, directing courageous souls along the Underground Railroad toward liberation and freedom. Hidden messages present path to freedom Take, for example, the Drunkard's Path quilt block. "Yes, I'm trying to head north, but I'm not going to do a straight path. Why, because I'm on the "drunkard's path" and I have to stagger my movements. Why, because the slave master and his crew are following me and by staggering my movements, like the drunkard's path, I could throw them off and head to freedom," Harris explained. "It was a period where Black people have always been seeking ways and routes to freedom, and they had to do so in secret. So one of the ways they could communicate and give direction to people who were interested in running away from slavery were in the designs of the quilts," Dr Tameka Hobbs, the regional manager of the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, said. Under Harris's guidance, community members will gather at the Lauderhill Towne Centre Library in Broward County and create their own mini "freedom quilt" mixed media panels in honor of Juneteenth. Using paper collage techniques, they'll embody themes of freedom, resilience, and cultural pride, all deeply rooted in the rich African-American quilting tradition. "I find for me today that Drunkard's Path resonates because just for how the world is, you have to move strategically, you know what I mean, and in moving statically, you're cultivating a sense of protection around you," Harris said. Broward County's libraries will be hosting a series of events in celebration of Juneteenth. Here are some other Juneteenth events: Thursday, June 19 Juneteenth Unity Trek at Dorsey Park 1701 NW 1 Avenue 9:30 a.m. "This event is a collective act or restoration in response to the desecration of the Dorsey Park murals.

New Jersey businesses hope Barefoot Country Music Festival sets the tone for a slow start to summer
On Wildwood's boardwalk, Crazy J is doing anything he can to attract customers at The Balloon Pop, a small business near the Convention Center. "It has been different, it's actually been a lot slower than usual," he said. "I really believe this year is down 50%, honestly." J says Mother Nature bears the brunt of the blame for what he called a slower-than-usual start to the season. According to CBS Philadelphia's NEXT Weather team, since the beginning of May, there have only been two weekends without rain down the Shore. "It is definitely impacting business because when it's raining and it's cold out and it's wet, nobody really wants to be out here," J said. The Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce also tells CBS News Philadelphia that hotel vacancies are up significantly from this time last year. Many business owners are hoping country music can change that. "This is the biggest event we have all year long and it really kicks off our summer," said Ben Rose, the director of marketing and public relations for the Greater Wildwood Tourism Improvement and Development Authority. The Barefoot Country Music Festival kicks off Thursday. The stages were being set in the sand Wednesday for big-name performers like Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Lainey Wilson, and Jelly Roll. This will mark the festival's fifth year in Wildwood, and organizers signed a new contract to keep the event in the same spot through 2030. "The great thing is we had to beg them to come play this and talk them into it, and now they call us and they want to come and play this because the crowds have been so great," said Bob Durkin, co-founder of Barefoot Country Music Festival. Officials said the festival draws about 40,000 people daily and pumps about $34 million into the economy. Many businesses hope the festival sets the tone for the rest of the season. "I think a lot more people will come out and I think a lot more people enjoy themselves," J said. "We're introducing a lot of new people to the Wildwoods for the first time, and hopefully they like what they see, and they'll come back as visitors," Rose said. Barefoot runs Thursday through Sunday, with Jelly Roll set to perform the last night of the festival.
