Because today May 17’th is US Virgin Islands Flag Day! The flag is a simplified version of the coat of arms of the United States between the letters V and I (for 'Virgin Islands'). The yellow-colored eagle holds a sprig of laurel in one talon, and three arrows, which represents the three main islands - St.Croix, St.Thomas, & St.John in the other. The blue color in the shield on the eagle's breast is the same color as that of the flag and shield of the United States. The flag further represents the unique history, strength and resilience as a people! 📸 by @sohbree @musicspeaksent wearing our #usviflag #5panel hat #vimassive #usvirginislands #stcroix #stthomas #stjohn #waterisland #usvi #virginislands #usvirginislands #usvinice #islandlife #caribbeanclothing (at St. Thomas USVI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAS4HBHDTG8/?igshid=k3svjqkgvi3m

Today we commemorate Contract Day aka “FiyahBu’n”. Led by Virgin Islands’ heroines Bottom Belly, Queen Agnes, Queen Mathilda and of course the infamous Queen Mary! . The revolt that started on October 1, 1878 and lasted several days after laborers gathered on Frederiksted to demand higher wages. Although slavery had been abolished legally for 30 years, the people were very much living under slave-like conditions. . After the revolt had ended Queen Mary was sentenced to serve jail time in Denmark. . A special recognition to Crucian artist @lavaughn_belle for co-creating, alongside Jeannette Ehlers, this 23 foot tall statue in honor of Queen Mary, the first public statue of a Black Woman in Denmark. #iAmQueenMary • • • #USVI #VirginIslands #VINice #caribbean #CaribbeanPride #WestIndian #StThomas #stCroix #VIMassive #usvinice #USVirginIslands VIstrong #usvistrong #bvistrong #Caribbeanculture #WestIndian #WestIndianCulture #VITilIDie #Danish #DanishWestIndies #Crucian #Cruzan #Madras #Quelbe #BlackWomen #BlackExcellence #BlackHistory https://www.instagram.com/p/B3F0DOvjGR-/?igshid=s1zpdlib74p5
