The Emancipation Proclamation on Display at Reagan Library:

• President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of the civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." This historic five-page document, on loan from the National Archives and Records Administration, will be on display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library from September 19, 2008 through September 22, 2008. For preservation purposes, this original document is only allowed to be on display for four days each calendar year. This is an extraordinary opportunity for the Southern California community to view this national treasure. To accommodate as many guests as possible, the Reagan Library will offer extended hours on those four days. Please check back here for exact hours in the coming month.

Members will be notified in advance with additional event details.
