About This Quote

The Emancipation Proclamation, signed into law by Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves in the United States. To help them transition into life as free people, Lincoln created an educational system for African Americans. The Emancipation Proclamation was one of the most important documents in American history. It freed millions of people from slavery and gave them a chance to help shape their own futures.

Being able to create a system to educate a group of disenfranchised people is a very powerful thing. By not allowing access restrictions on this system, it helps empower everyone.
