Executive Director Steve Belko's "Struggle for Statehood" Article Featured in Missouri Life Magazine |
|
Missouri became the 24th state to enter the United States on August 10th, 1821. As we look ahead into the new year, we are excited to celebrate Missouri's 200th anniversary of statehood. Here at Missouri Humanities, we've joined the Bicentennial Alliance, along with many statewide non-profit organizations and government agencies, working together to develop and promote statewide projects commemorating the Missouri Bicentennial.
As part of this initiative, Executive Director Steve Belko wrote an article on the Struggle for Statehood that was featured in Missouri Life Magazine. We invite you to read the article and share your feedback on our Facebook page.
