Q.1. Why does Dr. King say that the Emancipation Proclamation has proved to be futile?
Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln on 1 January 1863 to free the slaves, yet even after one hundred years of proclamation, the African-Americans were still sadly crippled by the chains of discrimination.The Emancipation Proclamation had proven to be futile, and justice had still been delayed and denied for them.
