The Speech Emancipation Proclamation came as a beacon of light/hope for the African Americans slaves. Hundred years later, the blacks still not free; still chained by segregation/discrimination. An exile in his own land. This demonstration to cash the cheque of life, liberty, happiness given to all Americans.
