kids arts and crafts celebrate heritage grab and go kits Juneteenth summer reading


Celebrate Juneteenth with all vibrant colors of red, green, yellow and black. These colors have a very special meaning and symbolism: Red represents blood which people have spilled in the fight for freedom; Green - the land; Black is symbol of black skin of Africa's people, and Yellow - gold-mineral/ wealth. All these colors are engraved in our history.

Use your creativity and imagination to create your own unique art project with all the colors of Freedom. 

Suggestions? a banner or a flag, or a chain, or a chain of hearts, hand wreath; or a sign, or any idea of your own. Please check Brooklyn Library collection for more ideas.
