• Ahead of Juneteenth, resident of The Bristal in traces family's history back to 1804 (longislandpress.com) — An 86-year-old resident of The Bristal in Holtsville has traced his African American family history back to 1804 and recently shared the story with fellow residents. His 24-foot scroll of names and stories connects his family to slavery, sharecropping, and resilience, and he hopes it inspires Holtsville neighbors—especially other seniors—to preserve their own family histories as Juneteenth approaches.
