Juneteenth is a Black American holiday. 

We call Juneteenth many things: Black Independence Day, Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, Jubilee Day. We celebrate and honor our ancestors. 

December 31 is recognized as Watch Night or Freedom’s Eve in Black American churches because it marks the day our enslaved ancestors were awaiting news of their freedom going into 1863. On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. But all of the ancestors wouldn’t be freed until June 19, 1865 for those in Galveston, Texas and even January 23, 1866 for those in New Jersey (the last slave state). (It’s also worth noting that our people under the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations wouldn’t be freed until April 28, 1866 and June 14, 1866 for those under the Cherokee Nation by way of the Treaties.)

Since 1866, Black Americans in Texas have been commemorating the emancipation of our people by way of reading the Emancipation Proclamation and coming together to have parades, free festivities, and later on pageants. Thereafter, it spread to select states as an annual day of commemoration of our people in our homeland. 

Here’s a short silent video filmed during the 1925 Juneteenth celebration in Beaumont, Texas:

(It’s also worth noting that the Mascogos tribe in Coahuila, Mexico celebrate Juneteenth over there as well. Quick history lesson: A total of 305,326 Africans were shipped to the US to be enslaved alongside of American Indians who were already or would become enslaved as prisoners of war, as well as those who stayed behind refusing to leave and walk the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma. In the United States, you were either enslaved under the English territories, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, or under the Nations of what would called the Five “Civilized” Native American Tribes: Cherokee, Creek (Muscogee), Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminoles. Mascogos descend from the Seminoles who escaped slavery during the Seminole Wars, or the Gullah Wars that lasted for more than 100 years if you will, and then settled at El Nacimiento in 1852.)

We largely wave our red, white and blue flags on Juneteenth. These are the only colors that represent Juneteenth. But sometimes you may see others wave our Black American Heritage flag (red, black, and gold).

Juneteenth is a day of respect. It has nothing to do with Africa, diversity, inclusion, immigration, your Pan-African flag, your cashapps, nor your commerce businesses. It is not a day of “what about” isms. It is not a day to tap into your inner colonizer and attempt to wipe out our existence. That is ethnocide and anti-Black American. If you can’t attend a Black American (centered) event that’s filled with education on the day, our music, our food and other centered activities because it’s not centered around yours…that is a you problem. Respect our day for what and whom it stands for in our homeland. 

Juneteenth flag creator: “Boston Ben” Haith 

It was created in 1997. The red, white and blue colors represent the American flag. The five-point star represents the Lone State (Texas). The white burst around the star represents a nova, the beginning of a new star. The new beginning for Black Americans. 

Black American Heritage Flag creators: Melvin Charles & Gleason T. Jackson

It was created in 1967, our Civil Rights era. The color black represents the ethnic pride for who we are. Red represents the blood shed for freedom, equality, justice and human dignity. Gold fig wreath represents intellect, prosperity, and peace. The sword represents the strength and authority exhibited by a Black culture that made many contributions to the world in mathematics, art, medicine, and physical science, heralding the contributions that Black Americans would make in these and other fields. 

SN: While we’re talking about flags, I should note that Grace Wisher, a 13-year-old free Black girl from Baltimore helped stitched the Star Spangled flag, which would inspire the national anthem during her six years of service to Mary Pickersgill. I ain’t even gon hold you. I never looked too far into it, but she prob sewed that whole American flag her damn self. They love lying about history here until you start unearthing them old documents. 

In conclusion, Juneteenth is a Black American holiday. Respect us and our ancestors.

The flag was created in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. The idea to create the flag came about during the civil rights era when Charles realized that every other group of people had a flag at parades except Black Americans. He saw how connected they were to their national flags, but didn't feel the same connection towards the American flag due to the negative historical and political implication that the American flag held in the minds of the Black American people

Our Hidden Flag

Our Heritage Flag & Crest as Black Americans by Kièl Young

What’s popping Hood Babies & Baes, I’m not gonna lie when I first discovered this, I had a mixture of feelings, and the fact that it’s kinda been hidden from us and past generations is sad. Nonetheless, it’s better to know now than not know at all. If you’re a historic nerd like myself, this post is just for you; however, even if you’re not you’ll wanna read this piece. I know personally, as a kid I grew up in a melting pot, Miami was the spot where everyone can share their culture and rep their flags to the highest, shoot one of my godfathers were Cuban. However, as I got older I always wondered why we didn’t have a flag, I mean we have the Pan-African flag but we don’t have a flag as Black Americans. That’s where the Black American Heritage Flag comes in. Scrolling through tiktok I saw two videos that really touched my heart to make this piece. A lot of us didn’t know that we have a flag, so if you’ve ever felt left out or maybe lost—don’t. Just like we have our own culture, we have our own flag as well. The Black American Heritage Flag was created and designed by Melvin Charles & Gleason T. Jackson in 1967. It’s not as mainstream as the Pan-African flag, so sadly if you’d like to get one where you can hang it, you’d have to get it personalized. Let’s break down what the flag means.The red of the flag symbolizes the blood of our people that was shed, the black in the center is the pride of our skin color, our people’s pigmentation, the wreath is the symbolism of peace, prosperity, everlasting life, and finally the sword is the pride for our heritage. Many of us don’t know about this flag, like I said I just discovered it. Having this flag is an open invitation to talk to the future generation about it, when you see others looking for their identity in their blackness, it can be hard until you realize that our culture is in everything. I’ll definitely be waving this flag this Juneteenth, to show that we’re not left out, we aren’t last. You can be prideful in this flag and it’s time that we make this flag as mainstream and popular as the Pan-African Flag. I have my Pan-African Flag in my home, and I don’t plan on taking it down at all but it’s nice to know that as a black woman in America, I have a flag. This one was short, and sweet but I promise I got another post for you coming soon, til then, stay good wid it hood fam.

THE REVOLUTION STARTS HERE: COLD WAR – PART ONE!

Bucky Barnes is the Outer Circle's New Revolution, and he has enacted his deadliest move yet — an alliance with Sam Wilson's nemesis, the White Wolf. When Steve Rogers' adopted son, Ian, A.K.A. Nomad, is abducted by someone Steve thought was a friend, he suspects Bucky's hand at work and calls upon the people who know Ian best — Sam Wilson, Sharon Carter and Misty Knight — to help him get to the bottom of the attack. Has Bucky finally gone too far? Why has Nomad been taken, and what does it have to do with a portal to Dimension Z opening over a secret battleground in Alaska?

The Symbol of Truth and the Sentinel of Liberty reunite for a pulse-pounding crossover event that will make them question everything they believe in…and each other.

The flag was created in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. The idea to create the flag came about when Charles realized that every other group of people had a flag at parades except Black Americans. He designed the flag alongside Jackson and they would later travel the country to visit various churches, schools, and public events to promote the flag. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmqSL7VOCwRV9Un9RyRIkHbSj9HVBcsxobboZM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Black American Heritage Flag was designed in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. According to the designers, the blunted sword represents pride, while the gold wreath represents peace, prosperity and everlasting life. Red is for the blood that has been shed by the community for freedom, justice and human dignity, and black represents the pride in their skin color and the black community.

[cornrowsandcornbread]

got my Black American Heritage Flag yesterday!! i’m very happy i finally bought one. this is it on my wall:

the history and meaning behind the flag bc i think it’s quite cool: in 1967, the Black American Heritage Flag (also called the African American Heritage Flag) was created, during the civil rights movement, by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. it served as a flag for African Americans to display our pride, celebrate our accomplishments, and honor our history. the black in the middle represents our blackness, the red represents the blood shed by black men and women in the fight for freedom and equality, and the gold represents “intellect, prosperity, and peace.” this gold comes in the form of a blunted sword and a wreath. the wreath is composed of fig leaves, which is native to Africa (not sure if all fig leaves/trees are native to Africa and idk if the flag is referencing fig leaves at large or a specific type). in the middle of the wreath is a blunted Moorish boarding sword, the sword of Moorish leaders in the 8th century (according to what i found when i looked it up, the term Moor was first used by Christian Europeans to describe muslims, typically black, in a certain region. idrk you gon have to do some research on your own for that one). this sword represents the “strength and authority” of black culture that’s contributed, and will continue to contribute, greatly to math, science, art, medicine, and other fields.

according to the BAHF wikipedia page, the idea came to Charles when he went to a parade and saw that every other group had a flag except for African Americans.

Why am I just now finding out about this? How many of yall (young or especially old) knew? Reposted from @ohthatsdeepbwc This is the Black American Heritage flag that was designed in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. According to the designers, "...the elements of the flag include the color black to represent pride and pigmentation and race; red, to remind us of the rich blood black men have shed for freedom, equality, justice and human dignity throughout the world; and gold, to represent intellect, prosperity, and peace. These colors are woven into a composition that juxtaposes the red and black in a set of three stripes: one black stripe centered between two red." "Superimposed on the black stripe is a golden wreath of fig leaves. The cultivated fig is a native of Africa, and ranks as one of the most ancient of life-sustaining fruits. Centered within the golden wreath is a blunted Moorish boarding sword, symbol of leadership carried by the great Moorish leaders of the 8th century. The sword represents the strength and authority exhibited by a black culture that made many contributions to the world in mathematics, art, medicine, and physical science, heralding the contributions that black Americans would make in these and other fields." We really learn something new everyday!!!!

Juneteenth aka Freedom Day.

Juneteenth is a centuries long, Black American commemoration day for the end of American chattel slavery, particularly for the ancestors who learned of their freedom in Galveston, Texas in 1865 — two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Although they're no longer in America and we're no longer culturally the same, Juneteenth is also celebrated by the Mascogos, the descendants of Seminole Indians who escaped America at the tail end of the Gullah Wars (1739-1858), in Nacimiento de Los Negros, Mexico.

Up until 1997, the American flag (sewn by Grace Wisher) was the only flag Black Americans waved during the parade and overall celebration. Since then there are only two other flags that are raised and waved: the official Juneteenth flag (made by Mr. “Boston Ben” Haith) and the Black American Heritage Flag (made by Mr. Melvin Charles & Mr. Gleason T. Jackson).

Red, white, and blue. Red, black, and gold. That's it. This is not a Pan-Africanism takeover day. Keep your colonizing ethnocide to yourself and reserve it for cleansing your shit.

SN: If you're Black American and haven't done your genealogy or reached roadblocks in your tree, you can learn about lineage tracing and find some tips in this post. Much success.

Don’t know whether to rep this or the Juneteenth flag. I’m happy we have our own flags nonetheless.

THE ORIGIN OF KANG!

The man called Kang the Conqueror has been a pharaoh, a villain, a warlord of the space ways and even, on rare occasions, a hero. Across all timelines, one fact seemed absolute: Time means nothing to Kang the Conqueror.

But the truth is more complex. Kang is caught in an endless cycle of creation and destruction dictated by time and previously unseen by any but the Conqueror himself. A cycle that could finally explain the enigma that is Kang. And a cycle that begins and ends with an old and broken Kang sending his younger self down a dark path…

I was today years old when I found out there is an American flag for African Americans and it was created in 1967. This is so dope.

The Black American Heritage flag was designed in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson. According to the designers, "...the elements of the flag include the color black to represent pride and pigmentation and race; red, to remind us of the rich blood black men have shed for freedom, equality, justice and human dignity throughout the world; and gold, to represent intellect, prosperity, and peace. These colors are woven into a composition that juxtaposes the red and black in a set of three stripes: one black stripe centered between two red." "Superimposed on the black stripe is a golden wreath of fig leaves. The cultivated fig is a native of Africa, and ranks as one of the most ancient of life-sustaining fruits. Centered within the golden wreath is a blunted Moorish boarding sword, symbol of leadership carried by the great Moorish leaders of the 8th century. The sword represents the strength and authority exhibited by a black culture that made many contributions to the world in mathematics, art, medicine, and physical science, heralding the contributions that black Americans would make in these and other fields. http://www.loeser.us/flags/protest.html https://www.instagram.com/p/CBmSqk_BMMqzliqZnmhBllA7dXAFG5SREv91RE0/?igshid=zjheq4tdvtj3
