Last week, the Show-Me State saw fifty-five of its brightest students compete in the 2022 National History Day virtual contest. Two Missouri teachers were also recognized for their excellence in the classroom.

Adding to its expansive catalog of resources for understanding all facets of Missouri history, the State Historical Society of Missouri has published a new digital interactive that explores the significance of June 19 and August 4 to African American freedom in Missouri and the United States.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History selected a project of two eighth-grade students from Odessa Middle School to be showcased as part of a two-week online exhibition.

As part of its mission to preserve and share the history of Missouri, the State Historical Society hosts free exhibits at its centers around the state.
