What to know about the Juneteenth flag
Red, white and blue are the colors of the American flag, but they also grace the face of another quintessential American banner: the official Juneteenth flag.
The red, white and blue colors and the images on the flag reinforce that the enslaved Black people freed by the Emancipation Proclamation were Americans as much as their descendants are today - but that's not where the Juneteenth flag symbolism ends.
In honor of Juneteenth, we're telling stories of what Black freedom means today, from a 94-year-old's quest for a national holiday to the fight for reparations to cultural celebrations. Visit abc7.com/ouramerica for more from Our America: Black Freedom.
