They represent a mix of lifelong Brooklynites and new residents, all united for the future of Black communities in Bed-Stuy, Brownsville, and Crown Heights.

Today is Juneteenth, a day to commemorate when freedom came to enslaved Texans in 1865 - more than two full years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Since then, our communities in Texas and across America have honored those ancestors and the continued pursuit of freedom for all Black people with gatherings, learning events, music and more.

The design of the flag illustrated above was a community effort with Ben Haith of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation and illustrator Lisa Jeanne Graf created in 1997, but Jubilee Day/Juneteenth Day celebrations have existed for a century.

Haith told CNN the idea for the design “just came through me”. As word from the ancestors often does.

The star represents Texas and the freedom of Black people; the burst represents a new beginning; and the arc represents a horizon representing the opportunities and promise ahead for Black people.

In honor of Juneteenth and those who came before, let’s work to build a better now and a brighter future for us.

Back at homecoming, we talked about our goal of connecting with Black Central Community members and those who want to help us build power, and this summer is the time.

Tell us below in the comments what issues you think matter most, and how BMC can rebuild our network to fight for our communities and what we need to thrive.

And volunteer with us this summer to help us build our network!

Central Brooklyn, we outside all summer!

This month we’ll be at Brooklyn Pride in Park Slope on June 13, Stoop Set on Franklin Ave on June 20, and at the Juneteenth Celebration at Fulton Park on June 26th.
