18th Annual Mid-Atlantic People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference 2013: President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: On Questions, Doubts, and the Problems of Full Citizenship

January 24-26, 2013, University of Pennsylvania Law School

On January 1, 1863, 150 years ago, President Abraham Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation. The 2013 Mid-Atlantic People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference (MAPOC) will explore the many ways in which the Proclamation's promise of full citizenship remains unfulfilled for the descendants of the freed slaves, members of other racial and ethnic minorities, women, children, immigrants, and many other Americans.
