Emancipation proclamation. But followed by other historians on the controversy and debate. Part of four days of American History tv at 9 30 on cspan3. The president of the United States [applause] thank you. Happy new year to you. Hello, everybody. Thank you. Everybody have a seat. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the white house.
