Underneath the title in yellow lettering, there's a descriptive blurb that says, "Read the New Blog Posted about Elizabeth's Journey to Become Nebraska's First Black Female Judge!" And under that there is a black boxy bubble with orange text inside that says "LEARN MORE". Under the bubble, at the bottom of the left side of the page, there is yellow lettering that says "www.omahafreedomfestival.com". Then in the center of the picture, there is an orange, faded division line leading from the green background on the left into a black and white picture of Elizabeth Pittman on the right. She is adjusting her judge gown, and is standing in her office. Just at her feet in the lower right hand corner there is an Omaha Freedom Festival logo. The logo says Omaha with the O having a striped orange, green, and yellow striped fist in it with a black background. And striped maha in the same fashion. Under Omaha it says "Freedom Festival in black lettering. And under that at in red lettering it says, "A celebration of Juneteenth.
