On this Juneteenth, we honor the lives of the 155 enslaved individuals who involuntarily labored at Lakeport Plantation in 1860 with a yellow flag and the 529 individuals who were enslaved at the Sunnyside Plantation with a red flag.
While a single flag cannot fully represent each person’s life, we honor their memory and acknowledge their stolen labor built the plantation economy and contributed to the United States’ economy.
