A note from the Lyssa Lovejoy, President of EAC:

I wanted to share little history the the holiday of Juneteenth, it has been celebrated in my family for decades.

A Symbol of Resilience: Juneteenth honors the resilience, culture, and achievements of Black Americans.

Leaving “Cornbread for Harriet" is a cultural tradition and custom where people leave out a piece of cornbread (often with fatback or salt pork) and leave their oven light on for Harriet Tubman on Juneteenth.

Similar to leaving cookies for Santa, this practice serves as a symbolic act of ancestor veneration to honor Tubman, the Underground Railroad, and all who fought for Black liberation

June 14 is known as Flag Day in the United States. "
Flag" is an encaustic painting by the American artist Jasper Johns. It was created in 1954–1955, when Johns was 24, two years after he was discharged from the U.S. Army. This painting was the first of many works that Johns made, as he said, that were inspired by a dream of the U.S. flag in 1954. It is one of the paintings for which Johns is best known. It is held in the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.
