*BLACK HISTORY FACT* Washington, D.C. ended slavery on this date in 1862. President Lincoln signed an act abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, an important step in the long road toward full emancipation and enfranchisement for African Americans. Before 1850, slave jails and auction blocks were a common site in the District of Columbia, which was a center for domestic slave trade. #JoeMadison #SiriusXM #UrbanView SiriusXM Urban View #BlackHistory #WashingtonDC #PresidentLincoln #slavery #abolition
