"The Progress of Our People: A Story of Black Representation at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair" by Eric Freeberg delves into the profound impact of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair on Black representation in America. The story highlights how the fair served as a platform for showcasing African American achievements and contributions, despite the prevailing racial prejudices of the time. Through the lens of key figures and events, the narrative explores the struggle for dignity and visibility, illustrating a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights and recognition within a society often determined to marginalize Black voices.
