The 13th Amendment Freedom Week Manual is a guide to establishing a yearly commemorative week that educates and celebrates the ideals of freedom. It is inclusive, not exclusive. This Freedom Week is assembled so that all Americans (blacks, whites, etc.) can benefit from its celebration. It can also include people worldwide, not just Americans, who love freedom everywhere. It is a celebration that helps to heal racial conflict rather than divide. The 13th Amendment Freedom Week is not a celebration to simply remember the horrors of slavery. It is a time to remember the ideas and benefits of freedom. This 13th Amendment Freedom Week Manual lays the foundation for the 13th Amendment Freedom Week Movement. Together they work to establish the 13th Amendment Freedom Week.
