Founded by a group of Shreveport's leading citizens in 1906, the State Fair of Louisiana will celebrate 100 years in 2006. The founders' primary interests were to provide an institution to assist in developing the agricultural and industrial resources of the area and for the betterment of the citizens. The State Fair of Louisiana, though located in Shreveport and the official State Fair for the State of Louisiana, has no formal ties to either the City or State. It is a private, not-for-profit membership organization with members representing a broad cross-section of Louisiana citizens who have exhibited interest in the goals and objectives of the Fair. The Fair is governed by a Board of Directors elected from the membership. Fair operations are directed by the President and General Manager, and assisted by a full-time staff as well as hundreds of volunteers. Location The State Fair of Louisiana is situated on approximately 157 acres and is located just off Interstate 20, with access from Jewella and Hearne Avenues. The Fairgrounds are located about three miles west of downtown Shreveport. (click here for map) Fairgrounds Although it is one of the state's largest single attractions and the State Fair of Louisiana's largest fundraiser, staging the annual exposition is but one of many activities held on the Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds facilities, including the 10,300 seat Hirsch Memorial Coliseum, are used weekly for a multitude of “off-season” functions, such as musical concerts, hockey games and other ice events, sporting events, livestock shows, rodeos, and motor coach rallies.

The first objects that me their gaze were the graphophones or phonographs." From a contemporary account, The Adventures of Uncle Jeremiah and Family at the Great Fair, Chicago, 1893. (Courtesy APM Press) I t was the grandest Fair of all time. 1993 commemorates the 100th anniversary of the World's Columbian Exposition, which itself commemorated the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the New World. The site appropriately was Chicago, a heartland city of one and a quarter million souls, risen from its own ashes of 1871. Chicago dedicated Jackson Park, a 526 acre lake front site seven miles south of the Loop. Native architect Daniel Burnham conceived an immense, neo-classical vision on a wooded island surrounded by lagoons. There was a statue of the Republic at one end, the Columbian Fountain at the other. One structure, the Manufactures Building, was boasted as the largest ever erected, over 30 acres. Gondoliers imported directly from Venice patrolled the lagoons. Because of its color and because of the use of "staff," a plaster-like material, this section of the Fair was known as the White City.

The Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World's Columbian Exposition The Afro-American's Contribution to Columbian Literature Ida B. Wells, Frederick Douglass, Irvine Garland Penn, and Ferdinand L. Barnett Edited by Robert W. Rydell Intended to demonstrate America's progress toward utopia, the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago pointedly excluded the contributions of African Americans. For them, being left outside the gates of the "White City" merely underscored a general exclusion from America's bright future. Exhibits at the fair were controlled by all-white committees, and those that acknowledged African Americans at all, such as the famous Aunt Jemima pancake exhibit, ridiculed and denigrated them. In response to the politics of exclusion that governed the fair and its larger implications of white supremacy, several prominent African Americans published The Reason Why the Colored American Is Not in the World's Columbian Exposition.

Popcorn: Ingrained in America's Agricultural History Introduction Early History Europeans Meet Popcorn Popcorn Explosion ... Bibliography Introduction Everyone seems to love popcorn. It has become a mainstay at movie theaters, sporting events, amusement parks, and nearly everywhere else people gather. Although Americans are now such avid consumers of popcorn, and its agricultural history is long, its commercial history is comparatively short. Popcorn was not mentioned in early farm papers and seed trade catalogs until around 1880, but once the American public discovered it, popcorn's popularity quickly grew. Popcorn and candy stand in a park at Topeka, Kansas, July 31, 1912. Nearly all of the world's popcorn production is in the United States, with 25 states growing the crop. Over one fourth of the national production is in Nebraska, and Indiana produces only slightly less. Other major popcorn-producing states are Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri.

Jim Crow Gateway Lesson Plans Simulations Narratives ... Let Us Know! African Americans in 'The White City:' The World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 By David J. Cope While the United States Supreme Court methodically institutionalized Jim Crow segregation laws in the 1880s (by rejecting the Civil Rights Act of 1875) and 1890s (through its ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson), the nation announced its arrival on the political, economic and cultural world stage through an international exhibition held in its "second city," Chicago. Known as the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, the great fair provided an outlet that introduced the United States' fantastic post-Civil War growth to the world. The 400th anniversary of "Columbus' discovery of America" provided the impetus. Realizing the impact that such a fair could have, New York City, Washington D.C., and Chicago vied as the main contenders to hold the exposition. After a fierce battle, Congress authorized Chicago as the host. Prominent businessmen and civic leaders formed the local organizing committee that successfully established the city's credentials. However, Congress authorized an additional National Commission to aid local supporters, and each state established individual commissions. So, the prospects for any African-American success at the exposition became entwined in a labyrinth of bureaucracy. Chicago set the stage well for the United States' premier performance before the world. The planners chose a lakefront site for the exposition and proceeded to hire major architectural firms to produce the 12 great exhibition buildings (Sophia G. Hayden, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, won the only architectural competition held for the Women's Building). The fair's architectural committee decided on a coordinated Beaux Arts design for the main buildings, with each painted a basic white to save time. Thus, the fair earned its nickname, "The White City," and, however architecturally true the name was, it regrettably also applied to the general attitude of the fair itself.
