My favorite part is how the colors, although American, subtly reference the Hatian flag—the flag of the first freedom over slavery in the Americas.

Why the date? Why the date?

Here's an article that explains it better then I can. But essentially its the date slaves were proclaimed free in Texas

I know what the date represents. But why not just also write “Juneteenth in the United States to Celebrate the End of Slavery Galveston Texas” as well? Flags are symbolic.

I didn't make it, its just the flag people use.

I’m not saying you did! I’m agreeing with the same point yourself made.

Thought it would be fun to post today, here's an article explaining the symbolism: Symbolism
I get the date being there, but design wise it would look nicer if they dropped it
