Juneteenth Flag Coloring Page
With Juneteenth heading our way, I thought I would share some simple Juneteenth Flag Coloring Pages. I have created three options for you, depending on your personal preferences – providing the “official” Juneteenth Flag – with the American red, white and blue, as well as the Pan-African flag, representing Black freedom world wide. This is part of our collection of Juneteenth Celebration Ideas.
Juneteenth is celebrated on the 19th of June and represents the day that ensalved Black Americans heard the news of the Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Abraham Lincoln signed this on January 1, 1863, but it wasn’t until over two years later that news reached Texas on the 19th June 1865.
Juneteenth has been celebrated since, but didn’t become a federal National Holiday until very recently in 2021. This was only introduced after the Black Lifes Matter movement – sparked by the deaths George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery in 2020.
There are two flags that represent Juneteenth.
The first is the Red, Black and Green Pan-African flag, also considered the Black Liberation Flag. You can read more about it’s history here.
The second is the Red, White and Blue Juneteeth Flag more recently designed and created. See Trivia and Facts about this flag below.
I decided that any coloring page resource, should represent both flags, so you can choose the one more meaningful to you.
