The Emancipation Oak in Beaufort, South Carolina, stands as an enduring symbol of freedom. Located on the grounds of Naval Hospital Beaufort, the oak tree played a pivotal role in African American history. On January 1st, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was read under its branches, officially declaring the freedom of all enslaved individuals in Confederate-held territory. The Emancipation Oak has since become a cherished local landmark and stands as a living testament to the struggles and triumphs in the quest for equality and justice. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt. Andrew Herwig)
