Ahead of Juneteenth, a floral decoration is set up on The Ellipse, in front of The White House to commemorate the holiday, and demand reparations for the forcible enslavement of the African-American ancestors.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture, and flying the Pan-African flag of red, black and green.
