DC Celebrates Emancipation
Slavery was abolished in the District of Columbia on April 16, 1862, eight months before the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation. DC will celebrate this historic milestone from April 12 to 18 with a series of special events, including a parade, concert and fireworks on Friday, April 16.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
