www.esowe.com Juneteenth. Officially Juneteenth National Independence Day and also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day. A federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of African-American slaves. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865. This year I photographed a few black cowboys based in NYC. _______________________________________________ . . . #juneteenth #blackcowboys #cowboys #nycblackcowboys #portrait #portraitphotography #flashmates #flashportrait #nigerianphotographershub #esowe #apehouse #esoweimages #portraiture #portrait_perfection #fivegallonhat #batteryparkcity (at Battery Park City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWdLWA5lIQp/?utm_medium=tumblr
