Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery, when slaves in Galveston, Texas, were told of their freedom — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. While it has long been celebrated in the African American community, Sims says the museum will be a learning experience for all. We can’t wait for you all to experience the National Juneteenth Museum. https://nationaljuneteenthmuseum.org/
Logo design: The logo encompasses two “J’s“ sitting parallel to one another to symbolize a chain. The “J’s“ disconnection symbolizes the breaking of chains from slavery to freedom. We wanted a brand that was unique, modern, timeless, and easy on the eye.
Rich red clay dirt has significant folkloric resonance within the southern African American community. Red clay dirt was a spiritual ritual and was believed it has healing principles. We are culturally healing therefore, those colors were chosen.
People just think of Juneteenth as a festival and as a Texas thing. Unity, freedom is what Juneteenth is all about.
