World's Columbian Exposition

In 2014, and the year I was fourteen years old, coincidentally, I went on a long trip out of the country. I visited four countries if I remember. It was England, Netherlands, France, and India. Some of this trip was for tourism purposes and some of it was just for meeting family and having a great time. So the first place I went to was London, England. I remember arriving into London Heathrow Airport and having such a great feeling of excitement. It’s been such a long time since I visited London…

Just as Minh walks out of the bank, he spotted his two companions: a floating robot that looks like it could be from a sci-fi film and a german shepherd have been waiting for him on the sidewalk.

So how did it go?” his robot friend questioned. “Well Charleston, this is what I got.” saids Minh holding out his wallet out. “The $1500 I got earlier within the bank and adding $200 I have on me now; now we’re up…

Last December record amounts of snow and cold temperatures hit the U.S. and most part of Europe, which led to chaos in the whole travel industry (Jainchill, 2011). Many flights all over the world were cancelled and some of the airports were shut due to the adverse weather conditions. Moreover, even train or bus services, namely in United Kingdom, were not fully operational due to the same reasons. Such things like terrorist attacks or natural disasters always have big influence on travel…

In 1893, The World’s Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the New World and to show how America has grown and progressed since then. In conjunction with the world fair, was the Parliament of the World Religions, an event propitiating non-Christian religions to speak on behalf of their own religion. However, even though the world fair was hosted on a total of 690 acres of land, not a single one of those acres were…

on how the fair was being managed. The pamphlet would eventually become titled The Reason Why the Colored American is Not in the World’s Columbian Exposition: The Afro-American’s Contribution to Columbian Literature. In an excerpt from an 1890 news article, one black Chicagoan states that “[African American exhibitors] do not wish to be swallowed up in the great Exposition Buildings as would be the case were they to exhibit in common with the white…

Jeansonne, the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 helped mark the bridge into the twentieth century. The Exposition was filled with new inventions, and new surprises for the people of America.

All of the new inventions and contraptions gave people something to look forward to. The white city that was revealed during the exposition…

and the marginalized. The hope and failure inherent in this struggle is a motif that presents itself in both real and fictional worlds. In 1893, black Americans like Ida B.Wells and Frederick Douglass spoke against the implicit racism of the Columbian Exposition. In 1911, an Italian named Vincenzo Peruggia, reacting to the racism and marginalization he experienced as a working class immigrant, famously stole the Mona Lisa from the Louvre. Twenty-five years later, a fictional echo of Peruggia’s…

Chicago Columbian Exhibition in 1893. This exhibition featured a popular “Streets of Cairo” exhibit. Like the Centennial Exhibition, the Chicago Columbian Exhibition had exhibits featuring the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Egypt, Persia, and Tunisia, as well as “Soudan” and Algeria. Also on display was a Moorish Palace, an Algerian village, and “Little Egypt” a belly dancer. Again in 1894, the California Midwinter International Exposition featured many of the same exhibits from the Chicago Columbian…

It has been more than a century since Frederick Jackson Turner first read his paper “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” before an audience of some two hundred historians assembled in Chicago for the “World’s Columbian Exposition.” Yet, Turner’s essay remains the classic expression of the “frontier thesis.” Turner was mostly ignored at the time but eventually Turner's lectures gained such wide distribution and influence that a contemporary scholar has called it "the single…
