I noticed the raised fist is being used as a "Juneteenth" symbol.

It's called the black power fist and originated with the Black Panther Party (Marxist-Leninist black power political organization founded by college students Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in October 1966 in Oakland, California.)

"I noticed the raised fist is being used as a "Juneteenth" symbol."

I noticed that, too, but I think you were the first person to comment on that. To me, it transforms the hair pick into a symbolic weapon. But maybe I'm overthinking it.
