African Americans were granted a surprisingly high level of recognition at these fairs given their status as second-class citizens, and the rise of Jim Crow, disfranchisement, and racial violence during this time period. This study examines the details of African-American presence and representation at each of these fairs and how the changing state of race relations in the South at the turn of the century influenced interactions between blacks and whites at the expositions. en Wake Forest University African American Atlanta international exposition Nashville New Orleans world's fair Fair Treatment?
