Fun Friday Idea: Juneteeth Flag Fans

Happy Juneteenth!

"Juneteenth is a day of reflection, a day of renewal, a pride-filled day.  It is a moment in time taken to appreciate the African American experience.  It is inclusive of all races, ethnicities and nationalities - as nothing is more comforting than the hand of a friend." -www.Juneteenth.com

Let's celebrate this day together by learning more about this important day in American history. Visit these websites here to learn more information:
