Emancipation Day should be reminder to keep fighting slavery

On May 20, 1865, U.S. General Edward M. McCook gave the first reading of the Emancipation Proclamation in the state of Florida. During the Civil War, more than 1,000 African-American Floridians joined nearly a quarter of a million African-Americans across the nation to serve in the Union Army and Navy. Many more worked as scouts, spies and laborers in a struggle to end the long nightmare of slavery.
