Thousands of people turned out for the 31st Annual 2nd Street Fes- tival last weekend, celebrating and remembering the history and legacy that gave the illustrious Jackson Ward street its renown as “Black Wall Street” and the “Harlem of the South.” The free, two-day event featured a variety of music, food and entertainment, including walking tours and a parade of fraternities, sororities, religious and benevolent organizations with connections to Jackson Ward.
