My great grandma was born in 1906! So lots of my ancestors were definitely at the fair! I love forest park, it’s wonderful and full of worlds fair remnants!
Thanks for showing the video. My great-great-uncle Charles "Grist Mill" Jones was one of the nine members of the Oklahoma delegation. They built the Golden Grain Pavilion from Oklahoma in the agricultural building. I think they got a gold medal for the best flour in the Midwest. I've only seen one photo of the Golden Grain Pavilion, and it was a stereoscope picture. I'm pretty sure the Oklahoma delegation brought Geronimo with them from Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Geronimo made money selling daquerreotypes of himself for $3. I got a lot of this information from the territorial Governor of Oklahoma Thompson Ferguson's annual report for 1906 on the Territory of Oklahoma to the president of the United States.
I have a picture of my great great grandfather, three sons, and a daughter in law, whom were there. It would be great if I could spot them in this film. When I was 11, I met the daughter in law. She was 83 at the time. I wish I had asked more questions.
@@odaydrums people didn’t sit around doing nothing but the masses at the time would most likely have to choice between hard labour or going hungry. More people willing to do labour work back then especially when their more motivated as well due to less access to information at the time.
The landlords seemed like they were decent people who would probably be a bit more understanding if you just talked to them. The lady screaming to get off her property is next level crappy
@@topup8098 The egregious racism of the Philippine Exhibition and many others within the human zoos. These were the largest attractions of the fairs and generated the most money.
I was talking bout my people the true indians that was already here who they went to war with stole our lands n gave a fake story in time... yes world fairs been part of they many scams through out time including history science religion this earth 🌎 yea and they first big world fair scam til today is Egypt n the pyramids... but ways hidden is southern u.s.a hidden in race stories n un wanted land the west is another ... I can go on n on .... They been world Scammers!!!!!!
Because she took an interest in another culture? Imagine what our PC police would be saying today had devolving nations of that time had not been represented: “All people of color were excluded from exhibiting at the Fair!” Just can’t win with you people.🙄
@@BryanClarkFerguson-xc6uc Referring to Filipinos as "savages" and dog eaters was racist in 1904, 1962, and today. The entire purpose of those fairs was for colonial powers to justify their cultural domination to one another by juxtaposing the peoples that they had conquered with the wonders of modern western technological progress. The purpose of the Philippine Exposition, was to make the argument that Filipinos, by virtue of their contact with the US military, underwent a rapid, three-phased transition from savage to civil. This was a deliberately false narrative, designed to convince the public that the Philippine War was over when it wasn't and that annexing the Philippines was the right thing to do. Perpetuating the notion that Filipinos were savages beyond 1962, as was the case, was even more racist, given that Filipinos fought alongside the United States in every war of the 20th century. The slur savage, whether it was with regard to Natives during the Indian Wars, or Filipinos during that period, or against Palestinians in the 21st century is married to the same white supremacist ideology that you seem to think is great and that everyone should just get over.

Yo uncle was a murder in a crafty council against gods people
The most spendid overview of the fair I have ever seen. Thank you.
The use of panning and zoom on the pictures is the original Ken Burns effect.
Wow, thank you for posting this.
wow philippine scouts was mentioned too in the military parade there..☺

My great great grandparents were too! Both sides of my family.
I find it hard to believe this was built in 3 years.
When people didn’t have shit 2 do
@John-nf7ug except grow food ,and other stuff I imagine. But yeah I'm sure people just sat around doing nothing 🙄
I don’t think could be built in 10 years time today. So much for progress…

It was built in 2 years, pay attention

It's great!
@@BryanClarkFerguson-xc6uc Is it?
@@Rhythmicons that's the way times were back then, get over it. No racism in this film. I see way worse in movies. Get over it!
