We are closed on Wednesday, June 19 in honor of Juneteenth. Happy Freedom Day!
About the Juneteenth flag:
The National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF) explains the symbols depicted in the flag represent:
• The Arc: A new horizon, meaning fresh opportunities and promising futures for Black Americans
• The Star: Not only is it a nod to the Lone Star State (where Juneteenth was first celebrated in 1865), but it also stands for the freedom of every Black American in all 50 states
• The Burst: The outline surrounding the star is meant to reflect a nova— or new star—which represents a new beginning for all
