The Man Who Designed Juneteenth Flag

About this episode

The episode highlights Benjamin Haith, the designer of the Juneteenth flag, and his visit to Tampa for a flag-raising ceremony.

An 83-year-old Juneteenth flag designer and Army veteran, Benjamin Haith, traveled from Connecticut to Tampa for a special flag-raising ceremony ahead of the federal holiday, where local JROTC cadets honored his iconic symbol—a red, white, and blue flag with a Texas star and burst outline representing new beginnings. Inspired by childhood memories on his aunt’s Virginia farm, Haith’s flag now stands as a powerful reminder that America’s story of liberty is still unfolding. City officials and young cadets alike celebrated his legacy, underscoring how Juneteenth continues to reshape our understanding of freedom as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
