Emancipation Day (September 22)

  • by: Roger Huntley
  • recipient: Making September 22 be a National Holiday
I think September 22 should be a recognized national Holiday. It is the day that President Lincoln issued the Emancipation proclamation. I think it should be recognized because it was actually the start of the civil rights movement. It would celebrate the human race as a whole and not by where you come from or what your skin is like.
