Part of our heritage as Americans: 150 years ago today, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
Here are some photographs of African American life at the time and shortly thereafter: At the Dawn of Freedom
Here are photographs of the proclamation itself: US National Archives
Here is something of the story of the abolitionists: Time Magazine interview with James Basker, Professor of History, Columbia
