2010 Emancipation Proclamation

As members of Avenging The Ancestors Coalition (ATAC), as descendants of enslaved Africans in America, and through our African American attorney who — like all other attorneys, including most notably African American attorney and United States of America President Barack Obama — is sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, specifically but not limited to the Thirteenth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment, we do hereby proclaim that, beginning here in the City and County of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America, all persons held at any time whatsoever as slaves within the area that now encompasses the City and County of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America are forthwith forever emancipated, meaning legally forever liberated, from any and every form of enslavement in any and every city, county, state, district, and territory of the United States of America. Moreover, this proclamation is not only effective immediately, it is also effective nunc pro tunc to the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred ninety.

Those aforementioned formerly enslaved persons consist of, but are by no means limited to, the nine black men, women, and children who were held in bondage by former President George Washington beginning in the aforesaid year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred ninety here in the City and County of Philadelphia at the President’s House, also known as America’s first “White House.” And those particular nine black men, women, and children are the following persons:

Austin — 32 year old man

Christopher Sheels — 16 year old boy

Giles — 32 year old man

Hercules — 36 year old man

Joe — 26 year old man

Moll — 51 year old woman

Oney Judge — 17 year old girl

Paris — 16 year old boy

Richmond — 14 year old boy

In witness whereof, and as attorney for ATAC, I have hereunto set my hand to this “2010 Emancipation Proclamation” in the City and County of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America on this fourth day of July in the year of our Lord two thousand ten.
