Though recently made a federal holiday, Juneteenth celebrations are steeped in traditions, one being the consumption of red food and beverages. Using ingredients like watermelon, strawberries, red beans, and barbecue and red velvet cake, red delicacies are eaten on Juneteenth to symbolize sacrifice, transition and power. Red is also an important color to the African nations that were involved in the slave trade in the late 1900’s.
