Oops! I accidentally posted the originally scheduled entries 24 hours early. To view these items click on Emancipation Day Parade and Moses Grimes, Company B.
So consider “The Emancipation Proclamation: The Civil War in Four Minutes” a bonus. The narrator Hari Jones was a well-respected historian in Washington, DC. Many of us got to know him during his tenure at the African American Civil War Memorial founded by Dr. Frank T. Smith, Jr. in July 1998. This four-minute program was sponsored by the American Battlefield Trust.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I launched this blog on Veterans Day 2018. During that time I’ve shared weekly posts with selected Facebook groups that responded with enthusiasm. Members of those groups engaged with questions, notes about information they’ve uncovered, and expressions of support. When I posted to those Facebook groups Sunday, January 22, 2023, I received the following message: “Your message couldn’t be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive.” I’ve requested a review from Facebook. Thanks for your understanding.
