On Thurday, January 12, attendees went on a bus tour of Jupiter. Our first stop was at the Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church. Because of the danger of flooding, graves are weighted with cement overlays that weigh 5,000 pounds!

Our next stop was Riverbend Park. This was where signficant battles during the Second Seminole War took place.

Our third stop was at a reserve, where a beautiful traditional African libation ceremony was performed by Theodore Lush.
