Emancipation came to different regions at different times. This pen, on display at Hampton University Museum, was used by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862 to sign the first of three proclamations which emancipated enslaved African Americans. We recognize Juneteenth as the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to ensure all enslaved people were free.
