Sunday Stamps: the letter "E"

 Good day and welcome to my blog.  Warmer weather has been replaced by colder air, but Spring is coming.

In our tour of the alphabet we are up to the letter E.

A stamp issued in 2013, and shared by me before, but appropriate for today.  A stamp honoring Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.  More is described in the Wikipedia entry.

"The Proclamation changed the legal status of more than 3.5 million enslaved African Americans in the secessionist Confederate states from enslaved to free. As soon as slaves escaped the control of their enslavers, either by fleeing to Union lines or through the advance of federal troops, they were permanently free." (From Wikipedia)

Let us not forget the past, even when it is difficult.
