"The problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the
color-line." This quote is among the most prophetic in American
history. It was written by W. E. B. DuBois for the Exhibition of
American Negroes displayed at the 1900 Paris Exposition. They are
words whose force echoed throughout the Twentieth Century. W.E.B.
DuBois put together a groundbreaking exhibit about African
Americans for the 1900 World's Fair in Paris. For the first time,
this book takes readers through the exhibit. With more than 200
black-and-white images throughout, this book explores the diverse
lives of African Americans at the turn of the century, from
challenges to accomplishments. DuBois confronted stereotypes in
many ways in the exhibit, and he provided irrefutable evidence of
how African Americans had been systematically discriminated
against. Though it was only on display for a few brief months, the
award-winning Exhibit of American Negroes represents the great lost
archive of African American culture from the beginning of the
twentieth century.
