Juneteenth, commemorating the emancipation of U.S. slaves, will be marked by a festival in Ogden, a flag-raising ceremony in Salt Lake and other activities.
Numerous activities are slated to honor Martin Luther King Jr., the late civil rights leader, including marches in Salt Lake City and Ogden. Monday marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal and state holiday, but additional activities are also to be held in the days that follow. Civil rights efforts gain ground "slowly but surely," said Betty Sawyer, head of the Ogden Chapter of the NAACP.
