The Dumfries-based Young Marines distributed computers to children across the country that did not have them. The non-profit says its part of a national effort to fill gaps within vulnerable school systems.
The organization writes:
Greater Prince William and surrounding communities are invited to participate in the Inaugural Juneteenth Parade in the Town of Dumfries on June 19 at 7 p.m.
The parade route will begin at the corner of UMC Dumfries, at 3890 Cameron Street and conclude at the Dumfries Slave Cemetery with a candlelight vigil in honor of the ancestors, music, and reflection.

Tennis season is about to begin in Prince William County. But that’s small comfort for players at Forest Park High School near Dumfries.
The school’s tennis courts have fallen into disrepair over the years since they were resurfaced in 2009. Large cracks have formed on the surface, increasing the potential for falls and injuries to feet, ankles, and legs. It can also cause balls to awkwardly bounce off the cracks, interfering with play.
