SUMMARY:Emancipation Proclamation On Display
DESCRIPTION:PrintA copy of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln is now on display at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum\, giving the public a rare chance to see the historic document. \nLincoln’s proclamation ordered an end to slavery in Southern states that took up arms against the United States during the Civil War\, which included more than three-fourths of the nation’s enslaved African Americans.  U.S. soldiers carried palm-sized copies of the Emancipation Proclamation on their march across the South to help spread the word of freedom. \nThe Emancipation Proclamation will be visible through February 3\, when it will be replaced by the only photo of Lincoln lying in state after his assassination. \n“This document and Lincoln’s signature provide a concrete connection to an incredible moment – the beginning of the end of slavery in America\,” said Christina Shutt\, executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. “We are proud to give our visitors an additional chance to see it for themselves and to reflect on what it took to free four million Americans from enslavement.” \nTypically\, the ALPLM displays the proclamation during a brief window around Juneteenth\, the holiday celebrating the end of slavery in America.  But a new display case using cutting-edge technology now allows the ALPLM to display rare documents much longer while still minimizing the amount of harmful light they receive. \nThe ALPLM’s copy of the proclamation is one of about two dozen remaining.  It is signed by both Lincoln and Secretary of State William Seward.  These copies were made and then signed by Lincoln so they could be sold to raise money for the care of sick and wounded soldiers. \nFor more information\, visit www.PresidentLincoln.illinois.gov.  You can follow the ALPLM on Facebook\, X/Twitter and Instagram.
