Emancipation Day in DC!!!
On this day in 1862: Congress passed the Compensated Emancipation Act to end slavery in the District of Columbia and President Abraham Lincoln signed the bill into law on April 16, 1862.
Slice of pizza on the street celebrating the beginning of the end (not the end) of a tragic part of our history.
Then a show…if you haven’t spent time in our Capital. You really should.
