A North Carolina tradition was to celebrate Emancipation Day, a commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation. Traditionally this was celebrated on January 1st, and included a parade and program, followed by singing, poetry reading, and speeches by both black and white leaders.
Celebrate Emancipation Day by joining local historian Carmen Wimberly Cauthen and Historic Turner House Foundation director Cheryl Williams for a guided trolley tour of Oberlin Village.
