Juneteenth Flag Meaning

The Juneteenth flag is used to celebrate the Juneteenth holiday, originally known as Jubilee Day. The first celebration took place on June 19, 1866, one year after all enslaved people were freed in the United States. The holiday became a tradition but wasn’t officially recognized as a holiday until Texas made it a state holiday in 1979. Other states established June 19th as a Juneteenth holiday, but it didn’t become a nationally recognized day until 2021. While the holiday just recently became a national celebration, the official Juneteenth flag has been around since 1977. It was designed by Ben Haith, who was the founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation.

Juneteenth Flag Colors and Symbols

The flag’s design is reminiscent of the American flag, because it includes red, white, and blue colors. Instead of 50 stars, however, there is a large star in the middle of the flag. This represents Texas (also known as The Lone Star State) because it was the first state to make Juneteenth a state holiday. The star also has a second meaning, representing the freed slaves of the United States. This is because the zigzag outline of the star is like a nova, which means the birth of a new star. It represents the rebirth of African Americans in the United States after the end of slavery. The red and blue colors around the star further the new beginning imagery, as they symbolize a horizon. Using the same flag colors as the American flag was intentional because it represents how former enslaved people were recognized as citizens of the U.S. and how future generations will be Americans too.
