Missouri Emancipation and the St. Louis African American Community
On January 11, 1865, the delegates of the Missouri state convention passed the immediate emancipation of all enslaved persons. Join us for a short presentation about the history of Missouri emancipation, followed by a conversation with representatives from St. Louis area sites that are part of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.
Come back for more! Thursday Nights at the Museum are sometimes the most fun, sometimes the most thought-provoking, and always the most interesting night of your week. The museum exhibits are open late, and you’ll enjoy cash bar and food for purchase, pop-up activities, concerts, lectures, and more.
The Thursday Nights at the Museum series is presented by WashU, and African American History Initiative (AAHI) programming is presented by Wells Fargo.
