Civil War History Weekend: Emancipation Proclamation Reading

Photos highlighting the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation at the Apalachicola Maritime Museum Civil War History Weekend event held Saturday, May 18, 2013 at downtown Riverfront Park in Historic Apalachicola.


The reading was accompanied by Pastor Barry Hand and the very talented Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church Choir singing in the background, while Steve and Patrick Jones portrayed slaves newly freed from bondage by Abraham Lincoln's Presidential Proclamation.
