The Reason Why Colored American is Not in World's Columbian Exposition

Klappentext
The authors of this remarkable document included the anti-lynching 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.

Zusammenfassung
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. An eloquent statement of protest and pride, this title reminds us that struggles over cultural representation are nothing new in American life.
