Batra felt compelled to act to rectify the clerical oversight. So Batra enlisted the help of University of Mississippi Medical Center colleague Ken Sullivan, who took an immediate interest in the story, calling the national archives to confirm that they had in fact never received the proper paperwork.
Sullivan then took a trip to the state archives to acquire a copy of the bill. Sullivan took his family to see "Lincoln," and told ABC News the film inspired him further to correct this historical oversight. Sullivan then contacted the office of the Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, who quickly agreed to file the required documentation to the National Archives and make the ratification official. Mississippi's tardiness has been put down to an oversight that was only corrected after two academics embarked on research prompted by watching Lincoln, Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated film about president Abraham Lincoln's efforts to secure the amendment.
Dr Ranjan Batra, a professor in the department of neurobiology and anatomical sciences at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, saw Spielberg's film and wondered about the implementation of the 13th amendment after the Civil War.
He discussed the issue with Ken Sullivan, an anatomical material specialist at UMC, who began to research the matter. Sullivan, a longtime resident of the Mississippi, remembered that a move to ratify the 13th amendment had passed the state Senate and House. He tracked down a copy of the bill and learned that its last paragraph required the secretary of state to send a copy to the office of the federal register, to officially sign it into law.
Thank you so much for the wonderful articles Daven. Please excuse my spelling mistakes. This article was about the law of slavery and Mississippi just getting around to ratifying it and yet the comments were on grammar… so sad. Anyways…the article was interesting and informative. Thank you. A correction is necessary for this post. A copy of the Resolution was sent by the Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann to the Office of the Federal Register on January 30, , and was finally officially ratified on February 7, I think the justice system should re-visit every prison sentence prior to and more exposure to this historical travesty should be revealed and revisited until everyone is aware of it.
The article is very informative. An easy read. Not once did I lose interest while reading it. Shit happens in America. You made a few errors. So what.
