Finding freedom
AUBURN - Audiences don't normally stomp, clap and shout while someone is reading a story, but Robert Djed Snead didn't mind.
In fact, he encouraged the crowd at the Booker T. Washington Community Center Thursday to get involved.
Snead, a professional storyteller from Rochester, was the centerpiece of the annual Juneteenth Celebration, a program that commemorates the first days of freedom for many of America's slaves in 1865.
