The Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World's Columbian Exposition
The Afro-American's Contribution to Columbian Literature Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass, Irvine Garland Penn, and Ferdinand L. Barnett Edited by Robert W. Rydell Intended to demonstrate America's progress toward utopia, the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago pointedly excluded the contributions of African Americans. For them, being left outside the gates of the "White City" merely underscored a general exclusion from America's bright future. Exhibits at the fair were controlled by all-white committees, and those that acknowledged African Americans at all, such as the famous Aunt Jemima pancake exhibit, ridiculed and denigrated them. In response to the politics of exclusion that governed the fair and its larger implications of white supremacy, several prominent African Americans published The Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World's Columbian Exposition. This eloquent statement of protest and pride catalogs the achievements of African Americans since the abolition of slavery while articulating the persistent political economy of apartheid in the American South. Robert Rydell's introduction provides insight into the sometimes conflicting strategies employed by African Americans as they strove to represent themselves at a cultural event that was widely regarded as a defining moment in American history.

The World's Columbian Exposition
The Chicago World's Fair of 1893 by Melinda Gilpin
Dedication
The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was a landmark event in American history and culture. Named in honor of Christopher Columbus, the Fair was a means of celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World and promoting the progress of man in science, industry, and culture since that historic event. Six months prior to the opening of the fair was the elaborate Dedication Ceremony of October 21, 1892. Which was held at the massive Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. Officials provided lunch for the 70,000 people expected to attend the dedication. However, nearly double that number appeared. The ceremonies were marked by gala musical performances of the "Columbian March" and one of the earliest public recitations of The Pledge of Allegiance to the United States Flag - written earlier that year by Francis J. Bellamy.
Construction
Construction continued after the dedication ceremony, although a particularly rough winter in 1892 and 1893 made progress slow and difficult. Thousands of architects, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and other craftsmen labored long hours attempting to complete the hundreds of buildings before the deadline. There were many times they did not think they would complete the work. In addition to the numerous buildings and structures that needed to be completed inside the Fairgrounds, additional hotels, a partments and other buildings were required to house thousands of tourists and workers. Despite all the odds, on Monday, May 1, 1893, two years and $19 million after construction began, the World's Columbian Exposition opened to throngs of visitors.

Chicago Before the Great Conflagration

Panoramic Maps, 1847-1929
On October 9 , 1871, Chicago's " Great Conflagration " was brought under control. The fire started the night before and was not completely extinguished until much needed rain fell the following day. Several factors contributed to the severity of the Great Chicago Fire . The bustling Midwestern city was built primarily of wood, and several woodworking industries operated within the city limits. Also, rainfall during the preceding months had totaled just one fourth of normal precipitation while early October was unseasonably warm. No one knows for certain how the fire started, though an eyewitness did see the beginnings of the blaze in Mr. and Mrs. O'Leary's barn. One widely circulated rumor held the O'Leary's cow responsible for knocking over an oil burning lamp and setting the straw afire. Whatever the cause, chaos resulted as hundreds fled their home to escape the rapidly spreading flames. One Chicagoan described his experience on the night of the fire: I jumped out of bed and pulled on my pants. Everybody in the house was trying to save as much as possible. I tied my clothes in a sheet. With my clothes under my arm and my pack on my back, I left the house with the rest of the family. Everybody was running north. People were carrying all kinds of crazy things. A woman was carrying a pot of soup, which was spilling all over her dress. People were carrying cats, dogs and goats. In the great excitement people saved worthless things and left behind good things. I saw a woman carrying a big frame in which was framed her wedding veil and wreath. She said it would have been bad luck to leave it behind.

City Information Elected Officials City Employment Contact the City ... new residents History of Fair Park Fair Park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986, because of its exceptional significance in American history. This significance is derived from its 105-year association with the State Fair of Texas and as the site of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. While the location of Fair Park dates back to the original 1886 fairgrounds, many of the existing buildings and public spaces were constructed for the 1936 Exposition which attracted over 7 million visitors. In preparation for the Centennial, the fairgrounds were expanded and transformed into a showplace of modern buildings under the remarkable direction of Centennial Architect George Dahl and consulting architect Paul Cret. The design theme for the Exposition was "Texanic" and "Southwestern." This regional flavor, intermingled with modern concepts, was the basic design style for both the renovation of existing Fair Park structures and the design of new buildings. After sixty-five years, all of the permanent and many of the temporary buildings, murals, statues and bas-relief sculptures survive. In addition, a number of buildings have been constructed since the Centennial; most blend well with the character of the 1936 Exposition buildings. The 30-structure Fair Park complex constitutes the largest intact concentration of 1930s-era exposition buildings and public art remaining in the United States, and is recognized as one of the most significant sites in the world for Art Deco architecture.

Author Hamlin Garland in a letter to his parents, 1893 T he World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 was an event of immense cultural importance to an America nearing the turn of the century. From May 1 to October 31, 1893, Chicago and the Exposition were host to 27 million visitorsnearly one quarter of the country's population at the time. Fairs were an incredibly popular event in the nineteenth century; the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia drew over 10 million visitors in 1876 and Paris' extremely popular Exposition Universelles drew over 28 million to the city of lights. Fairs encompassed the spectrum of experience and interest of the 1800sfrom sport to entertainment to high culture. To understand their importance and draw in modern terms, they could be seen as a combination of the Olympics, DisneyWorld, the Superbowl, and the National Galleryan international entertainment and cultural event with lasting social importance. Fairs were also money-making ventures. While not always necessarily profitable in and of themselves, they allowed their host cities to take the spotlightand the tourist dollar. When the idea of celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus' voyages to the New World surfaced in the 1880s, cities began to scramble for the opportunity to host the Fair.

(Click on individual logo to travel directly to a particular fair or MAIN PAGE) (References) A Century of Progress International Exposition Chicago 1933-34 A Century of Progress International Exposition was organized as an Illinois not-for-profit corporation in January of 1928, having for its charter purpose the holding of a World's Fair in Chicago in 1933. The site selected was the land and water areas under the jurisdiction of South Park commissioners lying along and adjacent to the shore of Lake Michigan, between 12th and 39th streets. The theme of the exposition was to be the progress of civilization during the century of Chicago's corporate existence. Rufus C. Dawes was selected president of the Board of Trustees and Lenox R. Lohr the general manager. The fair was opened on May 27, 1933, when the lights were turned on with energy from the rays of the star Arcturus. The rays were focused on photo-electric cells in a series of astronomical observatories and then transformed into electrical energy which was transmitted to Chicago. A Century of Progress drew 39,000,000 visitors (it was repeated in 1934) and for the first time in American history an international fair paid for itself. This fair presented many new ideas in the use of lighting and color but did not have the architectural influence of the World's Columbian Exposition.

http://www.watermelon-kid.com/places/FairPark/fp-history/history-intro.htm
For more than a century the citizens of Dallas, Texas and its surrounding communities have been well-served by Fair Park. Home to the annual State Fair of Texas, the 277-acre park also functions as a year-round center of education, entertainment, recreation and culture. Declared a National Historical Landmark in 1986 by the U.S. Department of the Interior, it is the only intact Depression-era exposition site in the United States. FEATURES: ESSAYS Fair Park was "born" in 1886 when eighty acres of "hog-wallow prairie" on the outskirts of East Dallas were chosen as the site of the "Dallas State Fair," the "grand-daddy" of today's State Fair of Texas. A rival "Texas State Fair" was held in North Dallas that same year when some of the original fair's founders broke away, accusing the others of self-interest in the selection of the East Dallas site. In early 1887 the two factions eventually buried the hatchet and merged to form an association called the "Texas State Fair and Dallas Exposition." At that time, they gave up the North Dallas site and retained the East Dallas grounds which today form the nucleus of Fair Park. In 1904 a financially-strapped State Fair association sold the fairgrounds to the City of Dallas after voters approved the "Reardon Plan," which strove to keep the site out of the hands of real-estate developers. Known officially as "Fair Park" ever since, the State Fair association continued to maintain the grounds in return for the right to hold the annual State Fair on the site each fall. This arrangement lasted until January 1, 1988 when administration of the park was transferred to the Dallas Parks Department. Happily, the State Fair continues to be held every year. For many Texans, it is as much a part of life as Christmas or the Fourth of July, and just as eagerly anticipated.
