On Saturday, March 12th, the park was happy to bring back the annual gathering to celebrate the birth of General Charles Young. Several dignitaries were on hand to participate, including keynote speaker General Robert Crear. The event took place at the National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center (NAAMCC) in Wilberforce, Ohio. Special thanks to the NAAMCC for hosting this special event while the General Charles Young home is closed for extensive renovations.
