• South Carolina locals and activists were appalled at the image of a smiling White couple on a banner promoting an upcoming Juneteenth event.
• Greenville citizens noticed last week that new banners were being hung across Main Street in honor of a three-day event celebration hosted by the nonprofit organization Juneteenth GVL Inc. The banners quickly spread across social media after people noticed one that featured only a White couple with no Black people.
• Greenville’s Fighting Injustice Together activist Bruce Wilson publicly declared his disappointment with the banner to local news, calling it a misrepresentation of the holiday.
