description The 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation provides an occasion to reflect on the ways visual artists have responded to and envisioned the impact of that life-changing declaration on the experience of slavery and the meaning of freedom. Signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War on Jan 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared, "All persons held as slaves are, and henceforward shall be free." Here, Finley describes We Hold These Truths, a visual legacy of slavery and emancipation.
