MILWAUKEE — We're about one week from Milwaukee's 53rd annual Juneteenth Celebration.
Tony Kearney, the executive director of the Northcott Neighborhood House, and Army Sergeant First Class Dennis Robinson joined TMJ4 to announce the Grand Marshal of the 53rd annual Juneteenth Celebration.
Major General Johhny Davis, a native of Milwaukee, will be the Grand Marshal.
"It is a great honor to return home to be the Grand Marshal for the Juneteenth Day Parade," Davis said. "This city invested so much in me, and I consider it a privilege to be back to commemorate such an important event."
Davis grew up attending St. Phillip Lutheran School and Wisconsin Lutheran High School and considers himself, "a son of Milwaukee."
Since leaving Milwaukee, Davis is the commanding general of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, KY.
Kearney and Robinson discussed Davis’s background and the importance of the Veterans Zone at the Juneteenth Celebration.
