Juneteenth Reflections (2023) is a quilted wall hanging that speaks plainly and powerfully about freedom delayed, responsibility inherited, and the ongoing work of liberation. Anchoring the work is the stark declaration: “You do not have the privilege of being ignorant.” This text operates as both indictment and invitation. It challenges viewers—particularly those insulated from the consequences of racial injustice—to acknowledge that ignorance is not neutral. Juneteenth Reflections ultimately asks viewers to move beyond celebration into accountability. It calls for honest engagement with the past and clarity about the present. Freedom, the quilt reminds us, is not merely commemorated—it is practiced. Laser printed blocks with free motion, machine quilted cotton. The quilt was first created for a Juneteenth Exhibition but the message resonates every day. Approx 36 x 13" Ready to Hang

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Deriving its name from combining "June" and "nineteenth", it is celebrated on the anniversary of General Order No. 3, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas
