Juneteenth Shirts: Here Are the T-Shirts You Need to Celebrate Our Freedom
Apr
America makes a big fuss over July 4th because that was when white male landowners declared independence from England. But Black Americans weren’t included as most were enslaved. Although Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, it wasn’t honored in every state. Even the end of the Civil War didn’t truly free Blacks.
However, a Union army general issued General Order No. 3 in Texas on June 19, 1865. This was the first Juneteenth. The order proclaimed freedom for enslaved people in Texas, but gradually the effects extended across the nation. Finally, the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution officially ended slavery countrywide on December 6, 1865.
As of 2021, Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the USA. It took a lot of lobbying over decades to get it recognized. In fact, in the first hundred years after the initial Juneteenth, African Americans mostly celebrated at church. Now all Americans can celebrate this holiday and hopefully learn more about Black culture and history. We have a long way to go toward equality so it’s important to celebrate every positive step along the way.
We hope you enjoy our collection of Juneteenth shirts. Wear them to celebrate freedom.
Top Juneteenth Shirts
Juneteenth Shirt, Freeish Shirt
The shirt acknowledges the holiday while reminding us of our African roots and the strength within us. Wear it with pride.
Unfortunately, many white Americans don’t know what Juneteenth is. Some are willfully ignorant but most are victims of cultural racism. Not even all Black Americans understand the holiday. Therefore, it falls upon a few to be teachers for the rest. You’ve got this! Let the shirt be the conversation starter. We hope that one day Juneteenth will be just as equally celebrated and understood as July 4.
Juneteenth 1865 T-Shirt
Black Power. Be proud of your history, your culture, and your future.
We like the Rasta colors because they remind us of our African heritage. Do you know what they stand for?
Green is for a connection to nature. Gold is linked to rebellion against the establishment. And red stands for the blood spilled by the people in the struggle for freedom.
Juneteenth Afro Freeish T-Shirt
Check out this awesome afro! Did you know that California is the first state that made a law about natural hair? Now it’s forbidden to discriminate against people because of afros, locs, braids, and other natural hairstyles. Soon afterward, New York followed suit. Although it’s incredible to believe that we have to have laws like this, sometimes that’s how change has to come. The law prohibits discrimination then the culture adapts.
So, don’t let the system get you down. From time to time it works. Juneteenth is a great example, and we hope there will be many more.
