Emancipation Day is this Tuesday, May 20th. Head out to Lewis Park at 11:30 am on the steps of the Knott House Museum for the annual community event that includes musical performances, speakers, and a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. For more info and a list of Tuesday`s schedule, please visit 20thOfMay.com.
Emancipation was proclaimed in Tallahassee on May 20, 1865, eleven days after the end of the American Civil War and two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation freed those enslaved in Southern states. The Proclamation was read by Union General Edward M. McCook from the steps of the Knott House, effectively ending slavery in the state of Florida. For this reason, Emancipation Day is traditionally celebrated on May 20 in Florida.
