Juneteenth is the celebration of freedom and citizenship. The Civil War was fought over slavery, and Juneteenth marks the final enforcement of emancipation in America. It is the story of a people who were denied the promises of this nation and then fought to claim them.
Juneteenth is not a celebration of global Pan-Africanism. It is a celebration of slaves becoming free AMERICANS. Our history is rooted in the unique struggle, sacrifice, and freedom struggle of those who endured slavery on American soil and built this country.
Juneteenth honors the journey from bondage to becoming AMERICAN. This is why Pan African colors are so disrespectful. Africa didn’t save us. They sold us. Our march to freedom belongs only to slaves, their descendants & allies in the fight. Nobody else.
@RepBeatty Respectfully, these are not the appropriate colors. Please use the appropriate colors and flag during Juneteenth. There is a historical significance behind the colors that were chosen. This is not a pan-African holiday; save those colors for when it is.
