The letters on this piece are rendered in every shade of Black skin — deep brown, warm brown, caramel, cream. Juneteenth freed everybody. Not just the ones who looked one way. Not just the ones the world found most acceptable. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't have a color chart. The General Order didn't ask for documentation. When the news arrived, everybody was free, and everybody danced. The drip running down from the lettering is the way that freedom keeps moving — from one generation to the next, one shade to the next, one cousin to the next, until the whole family knows.
This piece is for the ones who know Black is a spectrum. The mixed cousins. The dark-skinned aunties. The light-skinned grandmothers. The kids who got asked “what are you?” at school and learned to answer all of it. Juneteenth is for all of us.
For the family reunion. The Juneteenth photoshoot when the whole family lines up. The Sunday when somebody finally tells the truth about who is and isn't Black enough. Pair with brown, gold, and the assurance of somebody who never needed to prove it.
