AMERICAN FLAGS OF FREEDOM

The Juneteenth Flag is a symbol that gives all Americans the opportunity to recognize American freedom & African American History. The Juneteenth Flag represents a star of Texas bursting with new freedom throughout the land, over a new horizon. The Juneteenth Flag represents a new freedom, a new people, and a new star. The Juneteenth Flag is created with American red, white, and blue colors.

HOUSTON (AP) — George Floyd was fondly remembered Tuesday as “Big Floyd” — a father and brother, athlete and neighborhood mentor, and now a catalyst for change — at a funeral for the black man whose death has sparked a global reckoning over 2307 E Ann Arbor Ave police brutality and racial prejudice. More than 500 mourners wearing masks against the coronavirus packed a Houston church a little more than two weeks after Floyd was pinned to the pave- ment by a white Minneapolis police officer who put a knee on his neck for what prosecutors said was 8 min- utes and 46 seconds. Stanley’s Catfish & Hampton Library Cellphone video of the encounter, including Floyd’s pleas of “I can’t breathe,” ignited protests and scat- tered violence across the U.S. and around the world, turning the 46-year-old Floyd — a man who in life was little known beyond the public housing project where he was raised in Houston’s Third Ward — into a worldwide symbol of injustice.
