Culture
A Step Ahead
Shaun Whitehead envisions an Oak Park where cultural celebrations not only continue but grow in scope, accessibility, and impact. His long-term vision includes expanding community participation in beloved events like Juneteenth, the July 4th Parade, the Film Festival, and World Dance Day while introducing new opportunities for cultural expression and education.
By strengthening partnerships with local organizations, securing additional funding, and fostering innovation, Shaun aims to make these events more dynamic and engaging for future generations. With his extensive experience as the ACDC liaison, he understands how to enhance these programs while preserving their historical and cultural significance.
His commitment ensures that Oak Park remains a vibrant and inclusive community where people come together to celebrate heritage, diversity, and shared traditions year after year
