#Whitesupremacy did not die after the US Civil War & Lincoln's #EmancipationProclamation, or after the obliteration of #JimCrow by the #CivilRightsMovement - or even after the death of South African #Apartheid. It has revitalized & grown. We must find a way to deal with it, together.

A great way to ring in the #newyear with one of the greatest moments in U.S. history on January 1, 1863 #EmancipationProclamation

#EmancipationProclamation
The original of the #EmancipationProclamation of January 1, 1863, is in NARA in Washington, DC. With the text covering five pages the document was originally tied with narrow red and blue ribbons, which were attached to the signature page by a wafered impression of the seal of the United States
Far too many American think that the #EmancipationProclamation banned #slavery, when in fact it was just #EconomicWarfare aimed at seizing and freeing human 'property' of those living in rebel states. It came into effect for #Confederate territories on #ThisDayInHistory in 1863.
#EmancipationProclamation didn’t free slaves in states that stayed loyal to the Union or slaves in states recaptured by the Union during the war and it was entirely contingent on the North winning the war.
States with slaves not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation include MO, KY, DE & MD.

January 01: #EmancipationProclamation, Signed by Abraham Lincoln
Facts: It was issued after three years of Civil War.
The proclamation is often misinterpreted. It didn’t free all slaves. It was intended to free only the slaves in the states that seceded.

There are so many missed opportunities to commemorate and even celebrate the end of slavery in the United States. Imagine if our New Year's Eve celebrations were not just an opportunity to ring in the new year, but to recommit ourselves to freedom and liberty. #WatchNight #EmancipationProclamation

Lincoln raised his pen like a blade
and cut the myth of bondage in two.
He didn’t free them all, not yet.
But he lit the fuse.
He made the war about freedom.
He named the lie out loud.
