AN EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY: WHAT DOES
FREEDOM MEAN TO YOU? Emancipation: freeing someone from the
control of another. Proclamation: A document published to the
inhabitants of an area that sets forth the basis of authority
and scope of activities of a commander in a given area and which
defines the obligations, liabilities, duties, and rights of the
population affected. On Sept 1862, President Abraham Lincoln
issued a preliminary proclamation to free slaves. On September
22nd , the White House will celebrate the 150th anniversary of
the signing of this document. Dontsellbodies.org would like to
create a modern day Proclamation of Freedom. Help us create a
new emancipation proclamation by sending in your one liners,
statements, comments, thoughts, and ideals of what freedom
should look like in our country; what freedom means to you.
