St. Louis scholars contribute essays on the untold stories of the 1904 World’s Fair, exploring topics such as its visual culture, technology, and international reach. They also cover more challenging aspects: the Filipino people who were brought to St. Louis to be placed on display, the African Americans who were refused service, and the Chinese people who faced prejudice and arrest.
