Synopsis:

The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is the cornerstone of this manual. It is the foundation upon which all other rights, privileges and responsibilities belonging to Black Americans in this country were built. "The 13th Amendment Freedom Week Manual" is written to provide a celebration week that educates as well as celebrates the beginning of freedom for ALL (not just some) American citizens. This manual focuses on the ANTI-slavery movement in America, starting with the Quakers and the Founding Fathers. It is hoped that it will give proper respect and honor to the brave souls who, with our Creators' help, unleashed overwhelming powerful forces to break the chains of bondage for four million slaves and their descendents.

The book establishes a weeklong celebration featuring something new to learn each day. It explains the difference between National Independence and individual freedom. On Day One it highlights abolitionists; Day Two, it highlights the basic "forms" of government that may contribute to freedom; on Day Three, the book highlights the various types of economic systems that may contribute to freedom; on Day Four, a list of historical documents that contributed to are highlighted; on Day Five an exercise in genealogical search is encouraged; on Day Six, festivities and games are encouraged; and on Day seven, "Guiding Principles for Reflection and Contemplation" are listed. "The 13th Amendment Freedom Week Manual" features and highlights the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment and is unique in that it also list the members of the 38th Congress, the 39th Congress and the 40th Congress who voted for or against the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment and 15th Amendments, respectfully.
