In From Emancipation to Juneteenth, we look back on the timeline between President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the freeing of slaves on “Juneteenth”. I share quotes from President Lincoln. We explore his thoughts on how he used his Federal position to change State law regarding slavery. We close by exploring how the interpretation of words differs from person to person. And we explore how words are manipulated for personal, professional, and political gain.
“The American people have this to learn: that where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither person nor property is safe.”
― Frederick Douglass
