Juneteenth Freedom Celebration Pin

Juneteenth isn't just a date on the calendar — it's a legacy. This enamel lapel pin is a wearable tribute to June 19th, 1865, the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally received word of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. From that moment forward, a movement was born.

Juneteenth Flag Meaning:

• THE STAR: Represents Texas, the Lone Star State. The star also represents the freedom of African Americans in all 50 states.
  
  
• THE BURST: The bursting outline around the star is inspired by a nova, a term that astronomers use to mean a new star.
  
  
• THE ARC: Extends across the width of the flag, at the intersection of the red and blue sections, is yet another symbol of a new beginning, or rather, a new horizon.
