Happy #Vexiday! Here’s a repost from Roman Mars’ @99percentinvisible, way back in 2021 • The Juneteenth flag features a central white star, referencing the Lone Star State where the last of the country’s enslaved population finally learned of their freedom in 1865. Around that is another multi-pointed white star outline, symbolizing other states of the union. These stars are set against a red and blue background. The red arches up to form a symbolic “new horizon” where it meets the blue above. The red, white and blue communicate that the American Slaves, and their descendants are all Americans. The Juneteenth Flag was designed by Ben Haith, revision by Lisa Jeanne Graf. . #juneteenth #juneteenth2021 #flags https://www.instagram.com/p/CjMXTJyLxeU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do." - Barack Obama

I had a mini shoot with @scribelatte for Juneteeth! I felt so beautiful in my own skin and I’m so happy with how far I’ve come. I use to hate my skin, I use to regret being born this way because it only brought me pain. Now I’m trying to embrace my own beauty and live up my my namesake. I got his shirt from @hottopic before I joined #htfanatic during black history month. The make up is from @colourpopcosmetics (still wanna be in your PR, look at me Senpai)! My lashes are normally always from @superbaddiekawaii go support them! They are a #blackownedbusiness and they deserve so much love! #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #juneteenth2021 #photoshoot #blackgirlmagic #blackcontentcreator #blackinstagram #blacklivesmatter #colourpop #colourpopcosmetics #hottopic #amplifyblackvoices https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUO0lmrVFr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Freedom - the ability to act or change without constraint. Think about your actions everyday; not too long ago, you wouldn’t have been able to do it. 💚🖤❤️ . . . . . . . . . #juneteeth #juneteenthcelebration #juneteenth2021 #celebratelife #freedomisntfree #blacklivesmatter #bekindtooneanother #loveislove #timeforchange (at Lake Eola Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQY3JLfLO_M/?utm_medium=tumblr

Freedom doesn’t bloom in June…: A Black Female Perspective on Juneteenth

Freedom doesn’t bloom in June…: A Black Female Perspective on Juneteenth

On the surface, Juneteenth as a national holiday appears a national step towards acknowledging enslavement. The reality is, Juneteenth as a national holiday, functions to restore faith in what has failed us for centuries: the government. Juneteenth as a national holiday, in addition to aiding Joe Biden’s attempt to paint himself into the Abe Lincoln mythos, suggests that the government will give…
