Tell us what Juneteenth means to you and your family in the comments or share a video and tag @basquiatkingpleasure. Over the next week we’ll feature select submissions on our social channels. Swipe to read what Juneteenth means to Jean-Michel’s sisters, Jeanine Heriveux and Lisane Basquiat. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S., marking a pivotal victory for freedom and human rights. A federal holiday since 2021, Juneteenth marks the date when those enslaved in Texas were notified of the emancipation proclamation, two years after it was signed. Jean-Michel’s artwork vividly addresses themes of oppression, freedom, resilience, and the celebration of Black heritage, making it particularly poignant for Juneteenth. #Juneteenth #Emancipationproclamation #Basquiat #JeanMichelBasquiat #ArtTok #Blacktok #BlackTikTok @Lisane Basquiat @Black TikTok @VICE @Jean-Michel Basquiat Emporium
