<br />
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."<br />
<br />
Despite this expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal Border States. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory.<br />
<br />
Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it fundamentally transformed the character of the war. After January 1, 1863, every advance of federal troops expanded the domain of freedom. Colony after colony, territory after territory, and State after State heard of the signing of the Proclamation. Moreover, the Proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union Army and Navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.<br />
<br />
From the first days of the Civil War, slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically. As a milestone along the road to slavery's final destruction, the Emancipation Proclamation has assumed a place among the great documents of human freedom.<br />
<br />
On January 1st of each year, the NAACP DeKalb County Branch and other branches celebrate the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. This celebration is called Jubilee Day. Join the NAACP and celebrate the cause.<br />

GEORGIA STATE CONFERENCE NAACP TO URGE CAUTION AT POLLS and OPPOSE PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL AMENDMENT HR 1162.<br />
<br />
NAACP Warns Voters about Possibly Faulty Voting Machines/Galvanizes Opposition to Charter School Amendment.<br />
<br />
Atlanta, GA- On Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 2:00 p.m., Georgia State Conference (GSC) NAACP President, Mr. Edward O. DuBose and the NAACP Leaders will hold a Press Conference at the Georgia State Capitol Building to warn voters about a peculiar voting machine irregularity and to speak out against “Charter School” Amendment HR 1162.<br />
<br />
“I am deeply concerned about a voting machine error that could have prevented an experienced voter from selecting the presidential candidate of her choice,” stated DuBose. The incident occurred on Monday, October 29th at an early voting location in Macon County when an African-American voter tried to cast a vote for the incumbent President, Barack Obama, but, was unable to because the machine selected and “locked-in” Governor Mitt Romney instead.<br />
<br />
Despite making several attempts, the voter was unable to correct the problem, and decided to request the help of a poll worker. The frustrated voter indicated voting in many elections before this and knowing how to properly use Georgia voting machines but insists that the machine wasn’t working properly with respect to the presidential race. Voting for candidates in the other races was not a problem for the voter.<br />
<br />
The voting experience led to a Secretary of State inquiry that resulted in the machine’s removal from service. But President DuBose isn’t sure that the issue has been completely resolved. “We need reassurance from Secretary of State, Mr. Brian Kemp that the previous users of the same machine haven’t been deprived of the right to select the candidate of their choice in the presidential election due to the faulty equipment,” he stated. “More importantly, I want to be reassured that no other voting machines contain the same or any other defects,” stated DuBose.<br />
<br />
During the press conference, DuBose will warn voters to be vigilant at the polls and pay close attention to avoid error and detect computer malfunctions. He also intends to urges Georgians to vote against public charter school amendment HR 1162. “The amendment doesn’t pose a question about whether you support charter schools,” explained DuBose. “The amendment usurps control from local voters and local school boards and gives it to state bureaucrats appointed by the Governor if passed. We just can’t afford to do that,” he warned.<br />

REASONS WHY WE SHOULD VOTE “NO” AGAINST STATE CONTROLLED CHARTER SCHOOLS <br />
<br />
The NAACP DeKalb County Branch opposes the creation of a State Charter Schools Commission that is documented in HB797, which was passed by House and Senate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The question on the ballot for November 6, 2012 reads:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Listed below are our concerns with HB 797:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
• This bill creates another layer of bureaucracy that creates a dual school system competing for public school resources.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
• This bill allows charter approval before obtaining proper space, equipment, and personnel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
• This bill allows recommendation of appointments to the State Charter Schools Commission from the Governor (3 appointees), President of the Senate (two appointees), Speaker of the House of Representative (two appointees).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
• This bill adversely impacts the succession plan of our public schools.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
o The bill does not clearly define how the charter schools will be funded. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
o The bill allows charter schools students to receive 2.5% more of state funds per student than a public school student.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
o We asked the question” Where will the funding come?” At this moment we are requiring our teachers to be furloughed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Based on the concerns listed, we are encouraging DeKalb Citizens to vote “No” to State Controlled Schools on November 6, 2012.<br />

FROM: NAACP DEKALB COUNTY BRANCH<br />
TO: ALL MEDIA<br />
RE: POSSIBLE LOSS OF ACCREDITATION (SEE LETTER TO SACS)<br />
<br />
The DeKalb County Branch NAACP is holding a press conference Monday, October 22, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at the NAACP DeKalb office located at 3011 Rainbow Dr. Suite 180A, Decatur, GA 30034.<br />
<br />
The purpose for the press conference is to reveal the secrecy or lack of information provided by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). SACS ignored the DeKalb NAACP request to answer our questions.<br />
<br />
We are deeply disturbed that Black schools systems seem to be targeted while turning a blind eye to white school systems. Losing accreditation is a serious blow to any school system.<br />
<br />
We are demanding some answers to this puzzle.<br />
<br />
Should you have any questions, please call 404-213-8510.<br />

Act. No. 762</div>

Ga.L. 2012, p. 1364</div>
<br />
<br />
<strong>"Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities?"</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Whereas</strong>, The Georgia State Conference NAACP supports the importance of charter schools and its positive impact on the development of the physical growth and development of our children in the public schools of Georgia; and that the State Conference NAACP maintains its full support of public schools in the state of Georgia; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Whereas</strong>, the Georgia State Conference NAACP opposes the provision in HB 1162 authorizing the use of state funds for the support and maintenance of "special schools," defined in the current Georgia Law as charter schools without the approval of local school boards; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>WHEREAS</strong>, The Georgia State Conference NAACP believes that using taxpayer revenue to fund charter schools will have a negative impact on the current "QBE", Quality Based Education Act funding that's already inadequate among Georgia public schools; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>WHEREAS</strong>, the State School Superintendent, John Barge, a Republican, moved away from his party to oppose this piece of dangerous legislation, and said that state controlled charter schools will cost taxpayers an additional $430 million dollars in state funds, and that Georgia has already cut nearly $4 billion dollars from education over the last years; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>BE IT RESOLVED</strong>, that the Georgia Supreme Court struck down the state's attempt to create charter schools without local input, and that our justices knew local parents and taxpayers, not bureaucrats in Atlanta, should not be making these decisions for our children, thus, making it clear that they don't favor having dual school systems in Georgia; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED</strong>, that the Georgia State Conference NAACP during its 70th Annual State Convention held in Marietta, Georgia, request that all delegates urge voters in their communities across Georgia to "VOTE NO" on the constitutional amendment on the ballot #1 during the General Election on November 6, 2012; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED</strong>, that all units across the Georgia NAACP association acknowledge the importance of taking a stand against this unconstitutional partisan piece of legislation, that will eventually cause more financial woes for public schools and our children in the state; and<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED</strong>, that the Georgia State Conference NAACP and it's units, educate their given communities on the negative impact this amendment will have on the public schools of Georgia, and that this amendment is not about fixing the schools and school systems, but, is designed to decide who gets to spend our hard earned tax dollars for "special schools", which are not under the control of local school boards; and that a copy of this resolution is written in the minutes of the 70th Annual NAACP State Convention in Marietta, Georgia on October 13, 2012, and that a copy be maintained on the records for each unit and delegates attending the event.<br />

Dear Dr. Elgart,<br />
<br />
The NAACP DeKalb County Branch is a community organization, which is deeply concerned about all issues affecting the citizens of DeKalb. Public education in DeKalb is of utmost importance to the NAACP; and with the upcoming investigation of the DeKalb School System by SACS, this is to request your reply to the following concerns the NAACP has about the investigation.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. According to the local news media, SACS has received about 50 complaints regarding the DeKalb School System. If so, are these complaints in writing and signed by the complainant (s)?<br />
<br />
2. Did the complainant (s) provide credible evidence of impropriety by the DeKalb School Board?<br />
<br />
3. Did the complainant (s) bring their concerns to the DeKalb School Board for resolution before contacting SACS?<br />
<br />
4. Did SACS provide a copy of the complaints to the DeKalb Schools Superintendent and School Board prior to announcing its intent to launch an investigation?<br />
<br />
5. If SACS will be looking into the finances of the school system, when will the results of the forensic audit that was ordered by the School Board and paid for by the taxpayers be released?<br />
<br />
6. How will the group to interview with SACS be selected, and how can one get on that committee?<br />
<br />
The DeKalb NAACP is concerned that SACS may be selectively targeting the majority Black School Boards, i.e. Clayton County, the City of Atlanta, and DeKalb County, for investigations of unfounded allegations while turning a blind eye to similar allegations of majority white school boards, such as Cobb, Fulton, Gwinnett and Rockdale counties.<br />
<br />
I thank you for giving these concerns your utmost attention and for a timely reply. Please send the DeKalb NAACP copies of correspondence in the currents SACS investigation.<br />
<br />
Should you have any questions, please call me at (404) 241-8006 or (404) 213-8510.<br />
<br />
Serving DeKalb County,<br />
John Evans<br />
