Freedom Coming, Freedom for All!
The Southeast Regional Library is offering a special program on June 7 that will teach the true story of the 13th Amendment and the expansion of freedom to all citizens as the Civil War was drawing to a close.
Learn the true story of freedom! The passage of the 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in North Carolina. The United States Colored Troops and the Union Forces spread the news as they marched through Garner and southeastern Wake County from Johnston County en route to Raleigh in 1865. NC Museum of History Curator Earl L. Ijames will discuss the freedom process at this year's Juneteenth Holiday.
