Happy Juneteenth! Benjamin Haith, a Boston native, created and designed the official #Juneteenth flag in 1997. The white star in the center stands for Texas, the Lone Star State. It also represents the freedom of African Americans in all fifty states. The bursting outline around the star represents a new beginning for the African Americans. The arc that extends across the width of the flag stands for a new horizon: the opportunities and promises that lay ahead for Black Americans. The red, white, and blue represent the colors of the flag. It symbolizes a continuous commitment of the people to live up to the American ideal of liberty and justice for all. #wearectb #juneteenth #strongertogether #freedom #juneteenthcelebration #blackhistory
