Why was the US flag missing from Juneteenth logos and celebrations?

One may not know this, judging by this weekend’s Juneteenth displays, messages, logos, and celebrations, but over 600,000 white American men died in the Civil War to end the institution of slavery in the United States — an institution that was started in Africa, by African tribal chieftains and African empire kings. Just as heroically, 40,000 American black men died in the same war to end slavery. Black troops, most famously those in the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, heroically gave their lives fighting to preserve the U.S. and to end slavery. And their sacrifices in the fight to end slavery are what Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, honors.So, why does the U.S. flag seem to be missing from Juneteenth festivities and celebrations?Juneteenth is a uniquely American holiday. It was fought by Americans to free Americans. Yet, despite its American roots, all imagery and patriotic displays associated with this American holiday omit the U.S. flag and its colors. A quick perusal of Juneteenth logos, merchandise, signs, banners, decorations, and other festive imagery last Friday and over the weekend is missing one significant thing: the U.S. flag. Instead of red, white, and blue, Juneteenth imagery features red, black, yellow, and green — hues that have nothing to do with America. Instead, those colors are linked to Pan-Africanism.
