This year, plenty of our favorite Black celebrities and their adorable families spent the Fourth of July holiday celebrating their red, white and blue pride.
Whether traveling abroad to different countries (there’s a joke in there somewhere) or staying home in their native America, there were plenty of candid photo album-worthy moments to be shared on social media.
While Fantasia showed off her red bathing suit, fit for anyone with national pride, other celebrities, such as Essence Festival headliner Mary J. Blige just showed off her amazing summer body. (Sorry y’all, summer bodies are made in the winter. We’re too late!)
Meanwhile, the Wade family celebrated their first Fourth of July holiday with 7-month-old Kaavia James and John Legend also got some family time in while vacationing abroad.
