While originally it was the Republican party that fought for the Emancipation of enslaved people during the Civil War, bi-partisan support is noted with this dual-signed 1962 Emancipation Centennial program. Dated 9/22/62 on the front cover, for the 100th Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on the same date in 1862, this crisp program reports in (EX-MT) state. Located on the centerfold pages, are (2) signatures averaging ("8-9") potency, with: sitting Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (d.1968), a Democrat; and sitting New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller (d.1979), a Republican. Full photo LOA from JSA.
