According to this website the Emancipation Proclamation is invalid because it holds no power over the States. This means that we (African Americans) are still in slavery.

It is time to face the facts squarely: The plain and painful truth is that Lincoln was not the Great Emancipator of African-American freedom. Neither the Emancipation Proclamation nor General Order No. 3 freed slaves in the United States or in Texas, as the Juneteenth celebration would have it.
In fact, Lincoln was as elusive on the issues of freedom for African-Americans as equality of opportunity is today.
If one interprets the documents literally, slaves in the United States remained in slavery. There is no justifiable cause to celebrate a myth or bad news.
If African-Americans are looking for pre-1865 heroes to praise, David Walker, Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, Henry Highland Garnet, Denmark Vesey and many more would fit the criteria. If African-Americans need documentation, try reading David Walker's "Appeal," Henry Highland Garnet's "Message to the Slaves" or Frederick Douglass' "What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?"
subjects —
individuals upon whom government forces are allowed to act, but who are not allowed to react upon governmental forces;
citizens —

However I wonder since Jesus is proclaimed to be the Lord and Savior in Christianity and most African Americans are christians could we be free under the Kingdom of Jesus? When a King is proclaim it's subjects are said to be citizens of that Kingdom. If this is true this means in a religious philosophical way that African American christians are free because we are citizens under the Kingdom of Jesus.

Every kingdom must have a king, but it is also true that every king is automatically a "lord". It is this quality of lordship that distinguishes a king from a president, a prime minister, a mayor or a governor. In fact, a king's lordship makes him different from any other kind of human leader. Lordship makes the king unique.

Now let us speak on a king for awhile. A king's sovereignty is absolute. He isn't voted into nor out of office or power. His sovereignty is by birthright--or should I say a right of birth. The same is true of a king's lordship. All kings are automatically lords
All kingdoms have:
a. A King and Lord-- a sovereign
b. A Territory-- a domain
c. A Constitution-- a royal covenant
d. A Citizenry-- a community of subjects
e. The Law-- acceptable principles
f. Privileges-- rights and benefits
g. A Code of Ethics-- acceptable lifestyles and conducts
h. An Army-- security
i. A Commonwealth-- economic security, and
j. A Social Culture-- protocol and procedures
The Citizenry is the people that live under the rule of the king. Citizenship in a kingdom is not a right, but a privilege, and is a result of the king's choice. The benefits and privileges of a kingdom are only accessible to citizens and therefore the favor of the king is always a privilege. Once one becomes a citizen of the kingdom, all the rights of citizenship are at the citizen's pleasure. The king is obligated to care for and protect all of his citizens; and their welfare is a reflection on the king himself. The number one goal of a citizen in a kingdom is to be subject to the king, seeking only to remain in right-standing with him. This is called righteousness. This is why Jesus said the priority of all men is to seek His Kingdom. (Matthew 6:33)
