Juneteenth is a holiday celebrated on 19 June to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.#happyjuneteenth#happyjuneteenth❤️🖤💚#juneteenth#juneteenthcelebration#juneteenth2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9SNF7v1yR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@thekinseycollection 🙏🏾 Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19th, 1865 that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. This was two and a half years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official on January 1st, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the enslaved population in Texas due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. Freedom finally came after a proclamation by General Granger solidified the emancipation of the quarter-million enslaved people in the state. These images are from a larger selection of early ambryotypekw and tintype photographs in @thekinseycollection. Taken during the post-Civil War period of Reconstruction, these elegant portraits portray newly freed African Americans dressed in their best for the photographer. In many ways these photos represent the hopes and dreams of a people, who for so long were denied the right to even have hopes and dreams. With freedom came the urgency to find family that had been sold away, to create businesses and community, participate in the political process, and to cast off the vestiges of slavery. When The Kinsey Collection acquired these historical images they came without descriptive documentation on the subjects in the photographs - thus the names of these incredible people have been lost to history. However, when viewed together, these portraits provide a collective snapshot of African Americans seeking to achieve the American Dream, envisioning a better life for themselves and their families shortly after the end of slavery in the United States. On this day especially, we honor our ancestors who did so much, with so little. Happy Juneteenth from @thekinseycollection. #supportblackart #thekinseycollection #kinseyuntold #juneteenth #juneteenth2020 #africanamericanhistory #africanamericanart #blackhistory #mythofabsence #americanhistory #americanart #history #fineart #art #education #museum #exhibition #becauseofthemwecan #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoltAdhLql/?igshid=1hya8g126dqoi

#BlackLove x @joynavon:⠀ ⠀ ・・・⠀ ⠀ Juneteenth 2020 was supposed to be our wedding day 💍 A year and a half ago we chose this date because we felt it best represented one of the most important things to us, black freedom ✊🏾 When the world shifted, we decided to postpone our "big day" until we could safely unite and celebrate with family and friends. I'm going to be honest, that was a hard pill to swallow! Lord knows I try my best not to question his decisions and looking back now, ironically– I'm happy with how things are turning out.⠀ ⠀ We're living in a time where there are so many unknowns. People are sick, unemployed, and fighting for justice.. but, I really feel this year was necessary. We needed 2020 to remind us of all the things we take for granted and also, all the things we need to work on. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3: 5-6⠀ ⠀ We're still here Papa 🥺🤎 @true_artistry 6 years and counting and you knew I was your wife from the start. I'm so thankful to have you. I pray the Lord keeps you with me. Thank you for all that you have been, all that you are and all that you will be. We never rushed to the altar, why start now? We've always been bonded in spirit. You're my soulmate and it shows, everyone knows it. You're already my husband. June 19, 2021 will just be proof 👰🏾✨ #BridgetoBerkeley #Juneteenth2020⠀ ⁣⠀ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Thank you for sharing your love with us! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Want a CHANCE to be featured??⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Tag 🏷 is in your post or use the #luvblacklove so we can search you!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ Please no DMs or Email submissions. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⠀ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6CE2CFSWG/?igshid=o33wuw5xlklu

Gordon Parks & Kendrick Lamar Team Up

Rapper Kendrick Lamar’s music video for ELEMENT – a single off his album DAMN – features beautiful, often haunting imagery drawn from the work of 20th century photographer Gordon Parks. Check it out below!

Gordon Parks (1912-2006), a self-taught, multi-talented artist, was a prolific author, poet, photographer, musician, composer, and filmmaker. 

A famous pioneer among black filmmakers, Parks was the first African American to produce and direct major motion pictures. His films related the experience of slaves, struggling black Americans, and he created the "blaxploitation" genre.  His is best known as the director of the 1971 film Shaft.

Parks was also the first African American photographer to work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and for the Office of War Information (OWI), as well as for Life and Vogue magazines.  He is best remembered for his iconic photos of poor Americans during the 1940s, and for his photographic essays for Life magazine. The themes of civil rights, poverty, and the experience of Black Americans are found throughout his work. 

The following portraits taken by Parks are referenced in the ELEMENT. video.

Boy with June Bug, 1963

Ethel Shariff in Chicago, 1963

Untitled, 1956

The Allen Memorial Art Museum has a photograph by Gordan Parks:

Portrait of a Workman, Ben Wright. 1944
