Juneteenth Flag Round Needlepoint Chart - Instant Download

The Juneteenth Flag is ready to be brought to life through needlepoint! This design is 4" round on 18 mesh needlepoint canvas.

The Juneteenth Flag is full of symbolism.

The flag uses the colors red, white and blue of the American Flag. Featured prominently in the center of the flag is a bursting star. The five-pointed star refers both to Texas and to the "freedom of African Americans in all 50 states". Surrounding it is a 12-ray nova (or "new star") representing a new beginning for all. Running through the center of the flag horizontally, is an arc that is meant to symbolize the new horizon of opportunity for black people. According to the president of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation Steve Williams, the star is a "Bursting star of freedom." Williams also states that the arch representing the horizon shows blue above and the red color below is symbolic of the ground soaked with blood; the blood which was shed of the Black Americans enslaved by the United States. The red, white, and blue colors were meant to convey the message that all enslaved people in the United States -- as well as their descendants -- are American.
