SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) - The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum plans to put a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation on display.

The display is happening in honor of the Juneteenth holiday, which recognizes the end of American slavery. It will be up from June 15 to July 6. 

The museum will host special window displays and online events. 

According to the museum, displaying a copy of this historic document is a reminder of America's stained past and the process made since then. 

"The Emancipation Proclamation kind of does both things," said ALPLM Communications Director Chris Wills. "Seeing that reminds people of where we were, but also reminds them (of) what President Abraham Lincoln and others did to change the world and make it better."Â
