The
symbolism of the Juneteenth flag
There is an
official flag flown during Juneteenth (pictured above). The flag, created in
1997 by activist Ben Haith, founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration
Foundation, and Boston-based illustrator Lisa Jeanne Graf, morphed into the
current version.
The symbols
on the flag represent important elements of Juneteenth:
The date,
June 19, 1865, refers to the day when enslaved African Americans learned of
their emancipation.
The star
represents Texas, the Lone Star State, as well as the freedom of African
Americans in all 50 states.
The burst
outlining the star, inspired by a nova (what astronomers refer to as a new
star), represents a new beginning for all African Americans.
The arc
represents a new horizon full of opportunities and promise for Black Americans.
The red,
white and blue represent the American flag, reminding enslaved people and their
descendants that they are Americans.
