On the recordDecember 7, 2020
I thank the Congresswoman for delineating the important difference between the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment. The Proclamation was a heroic action of President Lincoln; the 13th amendment was a historic action of this Congress. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn), the Democratic whip of the House.
