Slavery Under Another Name: What Were the Black Codes?
On April 9, 1865, the long and bloody American Civil War finally came to an end. It had already been two years since President Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation, but after the Confederacy's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, word slowly spread among the more than 4 million enslaved Black men, women and children that they were truly and officially free.

The center is afraid of triggering an investigation from Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who has threatened to bring criminal conspiracy charges against organizations that help Alabamians get the procedure out of state.
NOT AFRAID!
