Fifth of July (New York)

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Fifth_of_July_(New_York)

The Fifth of July is a historic celebration of an Emancipation Day in New York, marking the state's culminating 1827 abolition of slavery after a gradual legislative process. State law passed under Governor Daniel D. Tompkins a decade earlier had designated Independence Day, the Fourth of July as when abolition would take effect, but the danger of racist violence led African Americans to instead celebrate on the following day. These celebrations continued on July 5 for many years in New York. rdf:langString
