Today marks the 159th commemoration of the Compensated Emancipation Act. On this day of April 16, 2021, let us reflect on our past, in order to ensure our future, as we continue our fight for equality, justice, full representation, and #DCStatehood.
Today, on DC Emancipation Day, we remember the more than 3,000 slaves set free in the District 159 years ago.
Because a voice in government is fundamental to our freedom, today we acknowledge our fight for #DCStatehood.
