Today, February 1, is National Freedom Day. In 1865, President Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which outlawed slavery in the USA. Later, Major Richard Wright, Sr., a former slave, pushed to have a day in this country when the ideal of freedom and opportunity for all citizens is honored. The bill was signed in 1948 by President Harry Truman.
It's a good thing. There's been progress and more is being looked forward to and fought for. Let's all do our part for equality, harmony, and opportunity. May God continue to bless America.
Keep the faith,
Sylvia
