The local NAACP branch hosted its 10th annual community BBQ on Memorial Day with live music, free food, free books and around 50 people in attendance.
On a warm, sunny Memorial Day afternoon, the local NAACP branch hosted its 10th annual community BBQ with live music, free food, free books and around 50 people in attendance.
The event was started by the Lane Community College Black Student Union in 2011, when Eric Richardson, now-executive director of the Eugene Springfield NAACP, was the president of the student group. The get-together aims to bring attention to the African American connection to Memorial Day, which has been traced by some historians to burials observed after the Civil War in South Carolina, as well as hold a space for the community to memorialize all kinds of sacrifices Americans have made in the "fight for the nation," according to Richardson.
