Did any Blacks sign the Emancipation Proclamation?

Question

I read where it was only Whites that signed it.

Answer 1

As with any Presidential Executive Order the President is the only signer of import.  In this case Secretary Seward also signed it.

Answer 2

You're right-no blacks signed it since it was an executive order and most blacks were denied elementary rights at that time.

Answer 3

Nope , they had only slaves right that is to sever their master under  cruel condition its only after   19 th century they start making presence

Answer 4

Well, since at that time the Blacks did not have any legal rights (which is what the Emancipation Proclamation ultimately gave them), it would not have been really possible for them to sign it.

Answer 5

UMMMMMM no!!!!!! no blacks they were slaves REMEMBER? they didnt have any rights until after that. THANK GOD 4 ABE huh?

Answer 6

To amplify the answer above. Lincoln and Seward signed it. No blacks could sign it because it was against the law to educate a slave. They were not taught to read and write in the first place.  

Answer 7

No.  Only two people signed it, Abraham Lincoln and William Seward.

It was an executive order.
