The Juneteenth Flag. Via Wikipedia.
This is a variation of the Juneteenth flag. Others show the original date on it, June 19th, 1865.
Here is one article I liked today: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/19/us/freedom-day-juneteenth-flag-meaning-trnd/index.html "The Juneteenth Flag is full of symbols. Here's what they mean..." from CNN.
Of course, GSUSA is also posting about Juneteenth today.
Here is some of what is on Facebook:

My council, The Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana, also is posting about Juneteenth. They posted yesterday about it.
Here is also Wikipedia talking about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth
I am wondering if Kwanzaa will also "open up" in a way this year. (i.e. be more popular).
I would love to learn more about it, anyway. I don't remember hearing about this (eons ago) in school. But did learn about it later.
So, to make a long blog shorter, Happy Juneteenth! I can see this as a National Holiday. Our Kentucky Governor has proposed it as a Holiday next year. Yay!
