So when do we celebrate Emancipation Day and Juneteenth?

Apparently, that depends — and depended — on where you were!

The State Historical Society of Missouri has created an interactive map showing where and when either or both of these events’ origins and history. A news release from SHSMO states that Aug. 4 celebrations of Emancipation Day date from the Civil War Era, while Juneteenth dates from the 1970s.

Here’s a link to the interactive map. https://www.kmzu.com/news/local/state-historical-society-of-missouri-publishes-new-online-interactive-map-exploring-juneteenth-and-emancipation-day/article_2964f69e-e82e-11ec-91da-6f9ac3873e50.html
