it s about voting and it s about supporting black businesses. take a listen. i am a sitting judge, so what s important for me is that everyone that s out here celebrating remember that they must vote. that it s not enough just to come and do the party, do the dance, to buy the items. it is more important, it is equally as important to make sure that we vote. last year we did the juneteenth festival like this, it was much smaller. i think now since it s a state holiday, there s more advocacy for black-owned businesses. so this entire weekend, there were people supporting black businesses that normally would not support black businesses. and i hope that that continues beyond just juneteenth because maybe those people that have never supported a black business said, oh, my goodness, i actually like that service or i like that product. reporter: so the message today is about he will brating and enjoying, but there is plenty of work to be done. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta.
