B.W. Kilburn (New Hampshire) stereoview #10694. "Designs in Pottery, Negro Building, Atlanta Exposition." Copyright 1896. View shows a well-dressed African American man (the artist? a vendor?) standing in front of busts, pottery and hanging art. Some soiling to card. Medium contrast. The 1895 World's Fair in Atlanta, known as the Cotton States and International Exposition is perhaps most remembered for the "Atlanta Compromise" speech about race relations given by Booker T. Washington. The speech laid the foundation for the Atlanta compromise, an agreement between African-American leaders and Southern white leaders where Southern African Americans would work and submit to white political rule, while the Southern whites guaranteed they would receive basic education and due process of law. It has been recognized as one of the most important, influential, and controversial speeches in American history. Date: Location: Atlanta, Georgia HWAC # 50647
