Until Union troops arrived, the Emancipation Proclamation meant little to most slaves in the Confederate States of America. For African Americans living in Richmond, Virginia, the day of Emancipation came on April 3, 1865. The event continued to be celebrated annually on that day into the 20th century. This photograph shows the celebration in 1905, 40 years after the war ended.
