In Lexington Monday, the pews at Cadentown Missionary Baptist Church were nearly full for the city’s Juneteenth celebration. One of the attendees was Kimberly Robinson, who grew up in Cadentown, one of 20 historic African-American hamlets in Fayette County identified by historians. Robinson said her parents still live in Cadentown – and she still goes to church there.
“It was a family neighborhood. Everybody knew everybody. Everybody shared their gardens and everything. So it was a community more like a family. Everybody knew everybody.”
