According to BERMUDA PUBLIC HOLIDAYS ACT 1947, Emancipation Day is the Thursday before the first Monday in August. Page 7, http://www.bermudalaws.bm/Laws/Consolidated%20Laws/Public%20Holidays%20Act%201947.pdf The following day is also a public holiday, Somers Day. The two days together are known as "Cup Match". As I don't live in Bermuda, I don't feel comfortable editing the entry. Assuming the contributor is a local, is there something they know that I don't? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.54.255.82 (talk) 16:06, 26 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Why the "see also" link for Kwanzaa? Seems inappropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.173.77 (talk) 23:57, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hello all, I am attempting to improve the Emancipation Day article, adding citations and expanding content, and would love some help! Especially if you're familiar with how emancipation is commemorated in Hispanic and Francophone Caribbean and Latin America. Also invite comments on whether to restructure the article. Currently, although logical, the structure seems somewhat "clunky". The article is rated as Start-class, Top-importance. Many thanks. Eartha78 (talk) 17:20, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

"Slavery has been one of the most controversial and significant issues throughout history. The brutality that many slaves had to endure during these times caused uproar throughout many colonies, which spread to the movement of emancipation and the abolishment of slavery. Across the world, the amount of slavery that occurred in multiple countries was astounding, but each country has their own history on how slavery was emancipated. Denmark was actually the first country in 1792 to abolish its slave trade. Throughout time, many countries thereafter sought to gain freedom for those who were enslaved."

Abraham Lincoln freed American slaves by signing the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862 (and it went into effect January 1, 1863). The article would be greatly improved by explaining why neither of those dates is celebrated as Emancipation Day (if there is a logical explanation). 2601:281:CC80:5AE0:A1B8:92A:ABCD:6D26 (talk) 03:32, 20 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
