    For me, Nelson's comparisons of Disney's Epcot and the World's Fairs of 1893 and 1939 transformed the Fairs from alien events to tangible ones. I was able to recount my experiences at Epcot and develop a personal connection with the Fair's that inspired Disney as I read Nelson's passage.

    I am writing to Glen Echo Amusement Park. I chose this position because of the discrimination towards Clifton Davis because of his race. Your establishment should allow Clifton Davis to participate in the actions held at Glen Echo Amusement Park because of the inequality you are allowing to appear when you deny his ability of participation. This is unjust because of the contradictions to the Declaration of Independence.
