Dozens gathered at City Hall on Saturday to reflect and celebrate the role Black American's have played in shaping the city, the nation's identity, and culture. "It's amazing, you know, it's a pandemic so we all have to take calculated risks, so I'm excited that a lot of people took the time to come out and solidarity and show their support despite the pandemic, despite the cold. It's really great to see a lot of diverse faces out here today," said Glynis Johns with the Black Scranton Project.
