About this Event
National Freedom Day takes place on February 01, 2021.
National Freedom Day is a United States observance honoring the signing by Abraham Lincoln of a joint House and Senate resolution that later became the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Slavery in California remains an open secret, cloaked in stolen legacy.
Generations have shared the Golden Legacy of California Pan Africans Pioneers both free and enslaved throughout Gold Rush California Era.
2021, we are finally poised to realize equal justice under the law and showcase Negro Bar Historic State Park for the world to experience.
President Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery, unless convicted of a crime thereof, on February 1, 1865.
Although he did not live to see the Constitutional Amendment ratified by 2/3rds of the states in December 1865, his prophetic sacrifice continues to help strengthen our great nation, at home and abroad.
Today, we begin the laborious tasks to officially qualify, quantify and preserve the uniquely authentic "California Grown" Journey From Slavery to Freedom.
