The Georgia Fair
One beautiful Sunday afternoon, thousands of people heard gun shots and children screaming. Many witnessed people running and deputy sheriffs stand guard adjacent to lions, tigers and bears. The sounds grew louder and louder. Cars sped faster and faster as a dozen people dropped from the sky a distance away. A sea of food, candy, and drinks spilled through the roadway as music played in the background.
Who is responsible for these acts? What happened? Why are so many diverse people in one place?
The Atlanta Motor Speedway is the gathering place for one of the most diverse events in Georgia. The Georgia Fair!
For most Georgians, the Fall is harvest time. It represents a season of family, friends, food, fun and fellowship. Unlike the summer

    Epiphany-Personal Narrative

    It was an oddly quiet Sunday morning in the middle of December. Clear skies, forests and beautiful snow-capped mountains dominated the views from my front porch. The temperature was mild, one of those days you could wear a thin sweater and be a little chilly. There were no birds chirping or butterflies fluttering, as they had all left to the south to find a more suitable environment for them or died. I had missed this type of day when you could relax in the peacefulness of the quiet morning…

    Mumpkin Spice Lattes In New England

    September 22 marked the first day of the season of pumpkin spice, commonly known as fall. To many white girls around the country, this is the best time of year, because during this time, society has once again deemed sweaters, pumpkin spice beverages, and unnecessary photos and decorations socially acceptable. Personally, although I do enjoy wearing cozy sweaters, the other common “joys” of fall disgust me. Basically, I find New England’s reaction to fall quite Katastrophic.…

    Depression In Georgia

    The Great Depression was a major part of America’s history, but most specifically a major part of Georgia’s history. The Great Depression all started when the Stock Market crashed on October 29, 1929. Georgians, both who lived in rural and urban parts of Georgia, face many economic challenges and suffered in plenty of different ways. The rural farmers of Georgia had faced many agriculture based problems before and during the Great Depression, such as the boll weevil, the decreasing prices of cotton, and the devastating drought. The urban people of Georgia were more devastated than the rural farmers of Georgia, since banks were failing, opportunities for loans were decreasing,and business owners were losing business. The people of both areas…

    The Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition

    Rewind to the late nineteenth century where the United States was far from an economic superpower and an afterthought in the technological industry. A nation that was still recovering from the horrors of the Civil War saw the majority of its citizens living a relatively outdated lifestyle. The United States did not become a world leader for innovation and prosperity overnight, but it received a huge jump start in the late 1870s. One large scale event that generated widespread attention and recognition was the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. In an effort to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the United States declaring independence from Great Britain, there was a fair held in Philadelphia which celebrated freedom while showcasing a plethora of inventions, attractions, and ideas. Attractions present at the fair ranged from…

    Chicago Worlds Fair

    Between the first of May and the end of October, an estimated 27 million people attended Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition (Worlds Columbian Exposition), also known as Chicago World's fair of 1893. This fair was planned to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus voyage and discovery of the New World. However the fair was a year late due to political arguments. The exposition covered 630 acres in Jackson Park and the Midway Plaisance., and featuring nearly 200 new buildings (History Files). The inspiration for the World Columbian Exposition was part of the success of the Paris expositions in 1878 and 1888. The rivalry and competition between the two countries made the fair a great success. In 1888, the United States Congress passed a bill to allow for an exposition celebrating Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas. Several major cities competed to host the exposition, including New York, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, and Chicago. Even though Chicago wasn’t the most popular city in the U.S, or the most clean, it was a city filled with slaughter houses and the smell from them. Much to everyone's surprise on April 25, 1890, President Benjamin Harrison announced Chicago as the winner for the location of the fair. The city was the most reasonable host because of its central location and abundant park space (1893 World's Columbian Exposition). Forty-six nations participated in the fair (Appelbaum 2). Each nation brought something interesting to the fair such as culture and architecture. The Exposition was an influential event on the American society. The fair made a great impact on architecture, technology, and culture.…

    The 1893 Columbian Exposition

    Everyday items taken for granted; the zipper, fluorescent lights, dishwashers, and spray paint. All of these were unveiled to the world at the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The Columbian Exposition, also called the Chicago World’s Fair, was a place of many firsts. Some were good, and some were necessary evils. Planned advancements were that of technology and inventions. Contrasting areas of development such as architecture were surprising, as no one knew how magnificent and cutting-edge the city would become. On the other hand of things, America’s first serial killer came to fruition during the height of the fair, gaining us an insight to the psyche of a whole other mental state of killers. During the few months of this extravagant fair, which…

    Shootings

    Children and parents held hands as they cheerfully walked into a theater in Aurora, Colorado. Couples and friends took their seats and munched on popcorn as they excitedly awaited the much waited for premiere of Batman. None of these innocent people could have or would have ever imagined that this simple night out would end it warm blood and wet tears. The recent shooting in Aurora, Colorado is only another example of the repeating violence in the United States. Many blame these psychotic killings on the violence our children grow up with in the media and toys. “Shootings” by Adam Gopnik, expresses the views of others such as me, who believe that the blame on these shooting is not on the media, rather on the lack of control and actions the government takes to prevent further massacres.…

    Atlanta Exposition Address

    On September 18, 1895, a profound African American leader, activist and advocator for racial equality, Booker T. Washington spoke before an integrated mass at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia. Although the organizers of the exposition worried that the demeanor of the public would not be prepared for such a progressive move outside of their innate social norm, they decided that inviting a black speaker would impress Northern visitors with the evidence of racial progress in the South. The “Atlanta Compromise Address”, as it came to be called, covered concerns of “uppity” blacks by claiming that the African American race would complacently live by the productions of their hands.…

    The Atlanta Exposition Adress

    In 1895, Booker T. Washington gave what later came to be known as the Atlanta Compromise speech before the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. In this speech he preached that in order to gain understanding from whites, African Americans would have to concentrate on creating economic security by improving their skills. He preached the importance of an education and that no African American should be denied of it. Instead of hatred between blacks and whites, they should work together and make America a better place. In his speech he says “Cast down your buckets where you are” he was referring to African Americans and how they should make the most of their situation; instead of protesting and trying to reach political equality, they should make the most out of it and try to get an education. He also referred this to the whites. He told African Americans that they should stop trying to achieve political equality. Even though he did say this, he still believes that African American should have the right to vote because with this they can learn the exercise of self-government. He was trying to show them that his people are still going to work on the fields, build their railroads, and continue to make America what it has become; all it takes is just giving them a chance.…
