Juneteenth celebrations marked by marches, protests and added significance


ADJeremy Berheisel brought his black Audi A4, which was covered with Black Lives Matter graffiti, and invited people to sign it. He made a loincloth out of his shirt and wrote “BLM,” for “Black Lives Matter,” across the front. Aminah Mellion, 39, a public school employee from Springfield, Va., was at the march with her 6-year-old daughter, Ella, who was holding a “Black Lives Matter” sign. Nearly every inch — wheels and interior, too — was covered in Black Lives Matter graffiti. It was greeted with jubilation and has been celebrated in African American communities for generations.
