I revere the Emancipation Oak where freedmen heard the Proclamation on New Years Day 1863.  As a tribute to those self-liberated American heroes, I performed an African ritual by respectfully pouring a libation at four points around its base.  Don't miss Fort Monroe nearby, where the first runaways escaped to Union lines & began the end of slavery in the US.
