To the wonderful citizens of Greenfield: Greetings! My name is Mpress Bennu Nembhard, and I would like to clarify the events that occurred on Saturday, which led me to resign from the Human Rights Commission and discontinue my involvement with Juneteenth (under Moving Mountains Media). As most of the community knows, I am the president/CEO, marketer, producer, facilitator, and sole brain power behind the Greenfield Juneteenth Celebration, which has taken place for the past four years. What started as an idea has grown into a community event that isn’t only recognized in Franklin County but now throughout the Pioneer Valley. In the four years we have had entertainers and vendors from Hampden and Hampshire counties, Vermont, New York, and New Jersey. But most importantly, Greenfield Juneteenth gained attention throughout the Pioneer Valley because it showed who we are as a community and how we have evolved by being the only Juneteenth celebration in Franklin County.
