Between late 1870 and mid 1875, the *Appeal* published some 250 Proclamations of Emperor Norton. The issue of 7 March 1874, whose banner is shown here, featured a Proclamation in which the Emperor insisted that black children be admitted to public schools.

For Empire Day 2020, The Emperor Norton Trust offers a free Zoom discussion of Emperor Norton's relationships with leading black intellectuals and editors of his day — as well as the Emperor's well-documented insistence on equality, civil rights and expanded legal protections for black people.
