Also, to the left of Tubman is Presidential Proclamation 95, better known as the Emancipation Proclamation with its date January 1, 1863. The ancient custom of slavery seemed to be an impossible thing to rid society of, but by the 1860s this cruel institution became was outlawed within the United States of America. Yet for 99% of human history owning another person as property was a way of life. Its dismissal was met with great sacrifice and great bloodshed. It is proper to honor all souls involved with its passing, good and bad, for mercy is the way of America.
It is for memories like this, when the simple prayer of God Bless America holds its value.
