DESCRIPTION:Freedom's Eve ~ 150th Anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation continues 
 the education and advocacy towards establishing a National Emancipation 
 Day.  Join the free community celebration.\n\nContrary to popular belief, 
 the Emancipation Proclamation did not free very many from enslavement.  The 
 US Civil War measure announced freedom for those enslaved in the 
 Confederate States that had succeeded from the Union.\n\nSalient to the 
 Presidential Executive Order was the official announcement and call for 
 Black Soldiers to join Union Soldiers to fight for freedom and help end the 
 U.S. Civil War.  The proposed National Emancipation Day requires education 
 and advocacy to share the authentic legacy.\n\nYou are cordially Invited to 
 celebrate Freedom's Eve ~ 150th Anniversary of Emancipation 
 Proclamation\n\nCalifornia Black Farmers and Agricuturalists Association 
 co-hosts the celebration with regional elected officials, community 
 organizations and regional businesses supporting the event.  Courtney 
 Dempsey is the MC for our wonderful festive celebration.\n\n Monday, 
 December 31, 2012, Noon - 3:00 pm\n California State Capitol Room 126 \n\n 
 December 31, 2012, marks Freedom's Eve and 150th anniversary of the 
 Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln, Noon, 
 January 1, 1863, our proposed National Freedom Day.\n\n The Emancipation 
 Proclamation did not outlaw slavery or make the former slaves citizens.  
 Slavery in the State of California remains an open secret and ratification 
 of the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, in California, was celebrated 
 on December 19, 1865.\n\n Come and learn more about these crucial documents 
 in American History.\n\n Join us for Freedom's Eve in the California State 
 Capitol, December 31, 2012 for an interfaith, intercultural and 
 intergenerational conversation about the political and moral reality of the 
 American Civil War (1861–1865), the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation 
 (1862), the Emancipation Proclamation (1863), the Thirteenth Amendment 
 (1865), and our ongoing journey towards a greater measure of freedom.\n\n
