When Kim Taylor learned about Juneteenth, she created a quilt depicting the emancipation of enslaved Blacks in Texas. That piece prompted her to write her children's book, "A Flag for Juneteenth." Taylor, of Baldwin, gave Newsday an inside look at how she turned her illustrations into quilted pages in November 2021 and February 2022. Credit: Newsday/J. Conrad Williams, Jr.
