Join us for a hot breakfast and a lecture by Dr. Antwain K. Hunter on Emancipation. Emancipation Day is a day of Rejoicing! On January 1st, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing enslaved African Americans in the South. This proclamation inspired many to run away and join the frontlines of the Union army. After fighting, many decided to commemorate this Proclamation; thus, Emancipation Day was born. Usually celebrated on January 1st in North Carolina, Emancipation Day featured parades, dances, and speeches. After 1865, many African Americans navigated the complicated reality of balancing their new freedom within existing societal discrimination. Our lecturer will discuss this reality regarding firearms and gun ownership in the 1800s. Books can be purchased at the Event! Details Location: City of Raleigh Museum Date: Saturday, Jan. 3 Time: 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. Ages: All Cost: $20 Get Tickets for 2026 Emancipation Day Breakfast
