ABSTRACT OF THESIS Fighting for Recognition The Role African Americans played in World Fairs In the years following the Civil War African Americans were locked in a struggle for equality.

Recent excavations have yielded specific artifacts suggesting that the structure may have sheltered a variety of daily functions in addition to specific kitchen activities.
