TNFro Is Reading...Reflecting on the meaning of Juneteenth, Reading and commenting on the Emancipation Proclamation and the TX Diss

The Emancipation Proclamation

January 1, 1863

By the President of the United States of America:

A Proclamation.

"Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:

"That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom."

How far we are from the totality of these words, still fighting for our right to exist and participate fully in American society. African Americans were bought here as slaves, forced to toil and build a country that hates us for it and refuses to back wages, reparations, restrict our right to vote, and any infraction real or imagined met out with an instant death sentence without a trial. Yet, we thrive and live to create in a world still trying to figure out if we have a place in it...ain't that a bitch.
