Juneteenth & a Revisit to History - D-Day & Harry T Moore

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas. Originating in Galveston, the holiday has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since the 1860s, often broadly celebrating African-American culture. The day was first recognized as a federal holiday in June 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.

Early celebrations date to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas. They spread across the South and became more commercialized in the 1920s and 1930s, often centering on a food festival. Participants in the Great Migration out of the South carried their celebrations to other parts of the country. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, these celebrations were eclipsed by the nonviolent determination to achieve civil rights, but grew in popularity again in the 1970s with a focus on African American freedom and African-American arts. Beginning with Texas by proclamation in 1938, and by legislation in 1979, each U.S. state and the District of Columbia have formally recognized the holiday in some way. With its adoption in certain parts of Mexico, the holiday became an international holiday. Juneteenth is celebrated by the Mascogos, descendants of Black Seminoles who escaped from slavery in 1852 and settled in Coahuila, Mexico.

Celebratory traditions often include public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, singing traditional songs such as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing", and the reading of works by noted African-American writers, such as Ralph Ellison and Maya Angelou. Some Juneteenth celebrations also include rodeos, street fairs, cookouts, family reunions, park parties, historical reenactments, and Miss Juneteenth contests. In 2021, Juneteenth became the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was adopted in 1983.

Get to know Tavi - Often Called The Modern Picasso

Get to know Tavi, Known As The Modern Picasso.

Arellano Gustavo’s mantra has long been “Color is Freedom”. He grew up reveling in the colorful and vibrant traditions of his Native American and Latino heritage. Creating the spirit of his inner child, each color choice in his artwork is charged with meaning. TAVi art by Arellano Gustavo has been established in the United States arts scene since the late 1980s and his work has been featured in galleries in New York, Arizona, Miami, Chicago, New Mexico, and across California.

TAVi’s whimsical style includes Arellano’s innovative use of “puffy paints”, acrylics, and resin creations, multimedia elements that seek to better embody “color” and bring emotions and inspiration alive on canvas. His unique artistic style is influenced by his love of the works of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Picasso.
