A flag serves as a symbol of identity, unity, and representation. It often embodies the values, history, and aspirations of a group or nation. Flags are used to express national pride, foster a sense of belonging, and communicate important messages. In various contexts, flags are powerful symbols that can evoke emotions, rally people together, and represent a collective identity. They are significant in ceremonies, celebrations, and events, providing a visual representation of the ideals and shared history of the community or country they represent. What is your flag?

Happy Flag Day! Today, we celebrate the symbol of our nation's unity, pride, and freedom. Let's honor the stars and stripes that represent our values and history. Today, we commemorate the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777, by the Second Continental Congress. Flag Day is a time to honor the stars and stripes that symbolize our nation's unity, pride, and freedom. Flag Day celebrates: ✨ Historical Significance: The anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as our official flag. ✨ National Pride: An opportunity to show respect and reverence for the flag, symbolizing our nation's values and ideals. ✨ Patriotic Education: Educating citizens, especially the younger generation, about the flag's history and significance. ✨ Unity and Freedom: Representing the unity of the states and the freedoms our country stands for. Flag Day, officially established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and later by Congress in 1949, it is a reminder of the principles and sacrifices that have shaped the United States. #FlagDay #Pride #Freedom #UnitedWeStand #SmallBusiness #Community #GNDC #NortheasternMontana #CommunityStrength #EconomicGrowth #CommunitySupport #GNDC30Years #GNDCAnniversary #30YearsOfGrowth #30YearOfChange #3DecadesOfGNDC #Economicgrowth #EconomicImpact #LocalBusiness #MontanaGrowth #GNDC30 #GNDCSuccess

One of our organizational values is Justice, and on Juneteenth we'd like to recognize the meaning of justice within our organization: “We are well aware that the social, political, and financial biases of humans make the balance of justice easy for some and very difficult for many. The scales of justice, be it legal or social, have a heavy human hand on one side of the scale that many do not have the resources to gain the supportive weight needed to offset the preconceived attitudes toward them. We see the shelter and its staff as the balancing force needed to help people get the fairness they deserve.” As you commemorate, celebrate, or reflect upon the significance of Juneteenth today, we want to recognize our team for their devotion to all our values, and our mission. They are on the frontlines of so many social and spiritual issues at St. John’s Ministries, and it is important to slow down and consider how all this weaves into the greater moral issues of our time.

Representation matters. Did you know that only 1.5% of the places listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Ohio relate to Black heritage? And in Cleveland—where approximately half of residents identify as Black—only 4% of National Register listings represent Black heritage. Cleveland Restoration Society is working to increase the representation of African American cultural heritage sites in the National Register. We are honored to be one of 21 recipients of an Underrepresented Communities grant from the National Park Service, which will enable us to nominate six historic Black churches to the National Register of Historic Places: Advent Evangelical Lutheran, Emmanuel Baptist, Greater Abyssinia Baptist, Greater Friendship Baptist, Nazarene Baptist, and New Life at Calvary.

Replacing Confederate monuments with statues of civil rights activists allows communities to correct the historical narrative by honoring those who fought for equality and justice rather than those who defended slavery and white supremacy. Confederate monuments were often erected during the Jim Crow era as symbols of resistance to racial equality, and their presence continues to perpetuate the legacy of racism and oppression. By replacing them with monuments to civil rights activists, society can celebrate the progress made towards justice and inspire future generations to continue that work. John Lewis symbolizes the ongoing struggle for civil rights and human dignity. Honoring him acknowledges the contributions of Black Americans and other marginalized groups in building the nation. Replacing Confederate monuments with those of civil rights leaders promotes healing and reconciliation. It sends a powerful message that the community is committed to moving forward, united by shared values of equality and justice rather than division and hate. This transformation of public spaces can help to create environments where all citizens feel respected and valued.

This Juneteenth, we reflect on the progress made to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive world. Learn how members of our Black Colleague Resource Group recognize Juneteenth and champion diversity. https://bit.ly/4b39i5S?
