January 1, 2023 marks 160 years since the Emancipation Proclamation, signed by President Abraham Lincoln, went into effect—a day that changed history for millions of Black Americans and should be recognized and commemorated. TPC Publisher Adrian A. Council Sr. states, “Emancipation Day brings into focus how far we have come and how far we need to go. Our year of Positive Change continues. It signifies legacy work to provide long-term equitable and economic solutions to race-based disparities.

On December 30, 2022, in preparation for the Emancipation Awards and to build awareness, hundreds gathered in Newark for the first Annual Pre-watchnight Prayer Walk to celebrate “Emancipation: The Dawn of Freedom.” City officials, clergy, and residents walked from Lincoln Park to Newark City Hall in solidarity and prayer, thanking the ancestors for their sacrifice for our freedom.

Our sponsors include: Prudential, New Jersey VisitNJ.org, RWJBarnabas Health, Aetna.
