>>> WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE SUMMER THAN A DAY ON THE WATER?

NEXT WEEKEND, A NONPROFIT OPEN LAND IS HOSTING GUIDED PADDLING TRIPS THROUGHOUT THE AFRICAN- AMERICAN HERITAGE WATER TRAIL ALONG THE RIVER.

WATER TRAIL SPECIALISTS SAY IT'S A GREAT WAY TO EXPERIENCE HOW BLACK HISTORY AND NATURE INTERSECT.

>> WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 60th ANNIVERSARY, AND THAT'S JUST CELEBRATING 60 YEARS OF IMPACT AND 60 YEARS OF ENGAGEMENT.

WE ARE COMMEMORATING OUR 60th ANNIVERSARY, WE ORGANIZED A PADDLING SERIES.

SO, STARTING FROM JUNE 10 THROUGH JUNE 12, IT'LL BE THREE DAYS, THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE WATER TRAIL SHOWS HISTORY RANGING FROM THE RAILROAD AND TRAVELING TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT.

PEOPLE FEEL SOME HUMILITY AND FEELING HEALTH AND WELLNESS WHILE OUTDOORS.

IT IS REALLY OPEN TO EVERYONE, IT IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY AFFAIR, SO FAMILIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND AS WELL AS JUST TO GET
