Glenside’s 4th of July parade was featured on Monday in Vision Times, a news outlet for Chinese Americans, in an article titled “Red, White, and True: Pennsylvanians Celebrate Independence Day With a Message of Unity“.

An excerpt:

The day, which was packed with parades, music, performances, and festivities, drew some first-timers as well as lifelong participants to the parade tradition of over 100 years. From drum lines and dancers to community organizations and elected officials, the celebrations were a vibrant tapestry of American identity — and a reminder that the promise of freedom is still very much alive.

The article featured quotes from Representative Napoleon Nelson and Congresswoman Madeleine Dean.

“It’s a wonderful time for everybody to put the news, put family concern… financial concerns aside, and just come together and just celebrate… just really enjoy what is a great day of pageantry, of music, of kind of community organizations showing so much great solidarity,” Nelson said.
