We celebrated #DCEmancipationDay with a parade and concert with Mayor Bowser!🎆
HISTORY: On April 16th, 1962, the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act was signed into law - freeing 3,100 enslaved persons. It also offered the newly freed people money to emigrate. It is this legislation, and the courage and struggle of those who fought to make it a reality, that we commemorate every April 16, DC Emancipation Day.
