✊🏿 Happy Juneteenth! We extend our congratulations once again to the Scotland Community on being honored as the 2024 GWUL Community Resilience Awardee. ‼️ Did you know? In Montgomery County, Maryland, 40 communities were founded by the formerly enslaved. ‼️ In Potomac, descendants of the Scotland Community are fighting to preserve a 100-year-old church, despite their land being reduced from 500 to just 4 acres due to urban renewal and construction damage. 👏🏾 We celebrate this historically Black community for their dedication to preserving the legacy and serving as a source of inspiration for others. 🔥 After a four-year hiatus, the Whitney M. Young Jr. Gala is back! Visit our website for more recaps: https://ow.ly/NuRz50SlSV1 #GWULGala24 #CourageUnderFire #GWUL365 📸OmniSource Events 📸Joe Andrucyk/Executive Office of the Governor
