Description
Take a look at the fascinating cultures brought from distant lands to St. Louis in 1904 for the enlightenment of fair-goers. While several of the groups from around the world caught the fancy of fair-goers, the public attitudes toward (and treatment of) some of these visiting groups were less than appropriate. Join Dr. Diaz-Granados as she reviews a selection of the most talked about foreign exhibits, and discusses why the anthropology lessons taught at the 1904 World’s Fair, although reflecting those times, are ones that should not be repeated!
