  • In "Juneteenth 1865-2024: A Legacy of Song," we show that music is the tie that binds and the language that has flowed through and across cultures since the beginning of time.
    Many would argue the rhythm, rhyme and the magic of a steady drum beat began in Africa. They’d also say the sounds of Africa influence every genre of music from folk and country to house, funk and rock. The heavy bass lines of hip-hop and the slashing of a heavy metal guitar are all influenced by African culture.
    To truly understand the breadth of the impact of Africa on American music, in this fourth installment of this award-winning KHOU 11 documentary series, we have to take it back to the Mother Land.

      Ben Haith created the 1997 Juneteenth flag and the colors are not red, green and yellow. It's in fact red, white and blue with a big star in the center.

      It's a made up event. Galveston was the center of commerce in Texas. They heard FIRST in Texas of the Emancipation Proclamation and the end of the war. Saying it did not make the papers in Galveston Texas of all places for month afterwards is just pure lunacy. Let's remember real events; not fairy-tales.

    They take from us and we think they're giving us something ie. black music month, black history month when in truth we're the first to be in this universe and the first to sing a song in this universe; the essence of this song is "You created me Father, I Am that which created me, I Am You My Father" ...

    I would've thought that the Black Seminoles would have learned their lesson about those "promises" & would've told the gov'ment to keep it stepping!
    I can't say that I was suprised when their promises of land, freedom etc in return for helping them fight turned out to be empty! 😔

      @@chrisb9445 Yeah it is. The official Juneteenth flag is red, white, and blue and the American flags flown from the very beginning to represent the Union's defeat of the confederacy at the very first Juneteenth celebration in 1865 were red, white, and blue.
