The Emancipation Procrastination is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Christian Scott released on October 20, 2017 by Ropeadope Records. The album is the third and final installment of The Centennial Trilogy, with Ruler Rebel and Diaspora being the first and the second respectively. The Emancipation Procrastination was nominated for a Grammy Award at the 61st Grammy ceremony.


The album's title refers to a reworking of President Lincoln's 1863 proclamation to free some three million enslaved people in the South of the United States. The Emancipation Procrastination delves into darkness and social commentary rarely treated with such a light hand.
