Book Description
Expressly intended to demonstrate America's national 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 more 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. Many African Americans saw the racist policies of the World's Columbian Exposition as mirroring, framing, and reinforcing the larger horrors confronting blacks throughout the United States, where white supremacy meant segregation, second-class citizenship, and sometimes mob violence and lynching. In response to the politics of exclusion that governed the fair, and of its larger implications, several prominent African Americans resolved to publish a pamphlet that would catalog the achievements of African Americans since the abolition of slavery while articulating the persistent political economy of apartheid in the American South. The authors of this remarkable document included the antilynching crusader Ida B. Wells, the former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, the educator Irvine Garland Penn, and the lawyer and newspaper publisher Ferdinand L. Barnett. An eloquent statement of protest and pride, The Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World's Columbian Exposition reminds us that struggles over cultural representation are nothing new in American life. 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago: The United States of Venezuela in 1893 Resolved: As the day is approaching on which the great international Contest to which the North American Union has convened all other nations of the globe, will be opened in the city of Chicago; and whereas this notable celebration, the purpose of which is to glorify the Discovery of America, cannot be a subject of indifference to Venezuela, the nation of the continent which first received the civilizing benefits of that great event; and whereas also the period of war through which the Republic has been passing does not allow it to bring forward the elements which would make it appear as a productive soil amongst the other competing States, the Chief of the Executive Power has resolved to name a Commission composed of Doctor Manuel Vicente Toledo and Senor J. M. Larralde in order to represent the country in the said universal Contest. At the solemn inauguration of the Exhibition the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic in Washington will preside ad honorem the representatives of Venezuela. And in order that this Resolution may procure practical results for the country, the two persons designated as representatives aforesaid will transmit periodically to the Government detailed reports concerning everything they may observe in the Exhibition which may be worthy of being utilized to the advantage of the Republic from a scientific, artistic, or industrial point of view.
