Hey kids, stop by the Sigal Museum Tent and create a suncatcher in celebration of Juneteenth and honoring the Pan-African flag. The flag represents the African Diaspora and “black freedom”. Red stands for the blood shed by black people who gave their lives in their fight for freedom, and the shared blood of African people. Black stands for black people. And green stands for growth and the natural fertility of Africa.

When your project is complete take a picture and send it to: beth@northamptonctymuseum.org to be included in Sigal Museum's kids online gallery soon to come!
