Before Hawaiʻi was annexed by the United States in 1898, the nation was led by a constitutional monarchy and was recognized as an independent kingdom. Before Hawai'i's last monarch, Queen Lili'uokalani, was overthrown by non-native American businessmen in 1893, the queen sent a royally-charted Hula troupe to the World's Columbian Exposition to share the culture and stories of Kanaka Maoli, or Native Hawaiians. This is just the beginning of the community's history in Chicago. In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Reset learns more about Hawaiian migration to Chicago, the legacy of Hula and reclaiming the culture with executive director of Aloha Center Chicago Lanialoha Lee, hula teacher, visual artist and co-curator of Chicago's Legacy Hula exhibit at the Field Museum Napuahinano Sumberg and education committee chair of the Ke Ali`i Victoria Ka`iulani Hawaiian Civic Club-Chicago and Associate Director for Outreach & Strategy at the Newberry Library Kahakulani Blaisdell For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Jim Futrell is the Historian for the National Amusement Park Historical Association and IAAPA. With over 40 years of experience researching and preserving amusement park history, Jim has authored multiple books and articles on the subject and is recognized as a leading voice in the field. In this interview, Jim talks about amusement park history, putting context on history, and shared experiences across generations. Amusement Park History “One of the first watershed moments in amusement park history was the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It gave birth to the modern amusement park industry.” Jim discussed how the exposition introduced the Midway Plaisance, which became a blueprint for amusement parks worldwide. Attractions like the Ferris wheel captivated visitors, and the fair's profitability from entertainment inspired park developers to embrace thrilling rides and immersive environments. Jim highlights key moments, such as the development of John Miller's under-friction wheel in 1919, which revolutionized roller coaster safety and design. This innovation allowed coasters to evolve from scenic rides to thrilling centerpieces of amusement parks. According to Jim, these milestones laid the foundation for the resilient and ever-evolving amusement park industry we know today. Putting Context on History “Being a true historian isn't just memorizing facts—it's about contextualizing them within a broader framework.” Jim emphasized how understanding historical context deepens our appreciation of amusement parks. For instance, he explored how global events like World War I and II transformed the industry. After World War II, the rise of suburbanization and interstate highways shifted parks from urban centers to sprawling suburban attractions, such as Disneyland. He also shared examples of how past myths about the industry, such as Disney's alleged detachment from IAAPA or the history of Blackpool Pleasure Beach's membership, were debunked through diligent research. For Jim, the essence of amusement park history lies in connecting these moments to broader societal changes. Shared Experiences Across Generations “Amusement parks are one of the few places where you can share the same experience across generations.” Jim passionately described how amusement parks enable families to create multi-generational memories. He shared a personal story about how his family has ridden Kings Island's carousel for six generations, underscoring the industry's ability to preserve nostalgia while remaining relevant to new audiences. Jim noted that balancing tradition with innovation is critical for parks. They must honor iconic attractions while introducing new experiences that resonate with modern guests. For example, parks like Knoebels and Kennywood have thrived by preserving their history and making forward-thinking investments. Jim Futrell's dedication to preserving amusement park history offers valuable insights into how the industry's past shapes its future.

pWotD Episode 2813: Aunt Jemima Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 295,492 views on Monday, 13 January 2025 our article of the day is Aunt Jemima.Aunt Jemima was an American breakfast brand for pancake mix, table syrup, and other breakfast food products. The original version of the pancake mix was developed in 1888–1889 by the Pearl Milling Company and was advertised as the first "ready-mix" cooking product.Aunt Jemima was modeled after, and has been a famous example of, the "Mammy" archetype in the Southern United States. Due to the "Mammy" stereotype's historical ties to the Jim Crow era, Quaker Oats announced in June 2020 that the Aunt Jemima brand would be discontinued "to make progress toward racial equality", leading to the Aunt Jemima image being removed by the fourth quarter of 2020.In June 2021, amidst heightened racial unrest in the United States, the Aunt Jemima brand name was discontinued by its current owner, PepsiCo, with all products rebranded to Pearl Milling Company, the name of the company that produced the original pancake mix product. The Aunt Jemima name remains in use in the brand's tagline, "Same great taste as Aunt Jemima."Nancy Green portrayed the Aunt Jemima character at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was one of the first Black corporate models in the United States. Subsequent advertising agencies hired dozens of actresses to perform the role as the first organized sales promotion campaign.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:00 UTC on Tuesday, 14 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Aunt Jemima on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Kajal.
When it comes to picking the most consequential year in Chicago's history, 1919 rises to the top for many historians because of how the race riots that year had a big impact on how the city segregates itself. But our experts agree that picking one pivotal year in the city's history is impossible. Of course, years like 1871 or 1893 stand out for the Great Chicago Fire and the World's Columbian Exposition. But what about important moments for civil rights and women's rights? What about arts and culture? Hop inside the time machine as we explore other key years in Chicago's rich history.
On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the intriguing tales surrounding Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, formerly the Palace of Fine Arts from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. We'll explore the life of famed attorney Clarence Darrow, whose ashes were scattered over the nearby Jackson Park Lagoon, and delve into the numerous reports of his apparition haunting the museum's east lagoon. Join us as we examine eyewitness accounts, investigate the psychological and environmental factors that may contribute to these sightings, and consider the cultural impact of this enduring legend. Is it a case of residual energy, or merely the power of suggestion?

A dry, wry farmer was hired to look after exhibits at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. A central figure in the exhibits was a female form composed of grasses and grains, a picture of fertility. The farmer was attending to business when a smart aleck Hoosier from Indiana came up and said, “I say, pardner, this 'ere show is great. You must have a rich country for grains out there in Dakota; but I don't see no exhibit from your divorce courts."

Happy Spooky Wednesday, folks! It may be summer outside, but we're keeping it creepy here on the podcast. Kala had a special seeeeester birthday request for a haunted museum, and so she covered world's largest museum, education, and research complex, The Smithsonian Institute! Considering how many artifacts these buildings hold, it's no surprise that some ghosts have come along with them. And it's not just visitors who have had experiences, the staff has lots of tales to tell too! And Brittany talks about the legend of The Green Children of Woolpit. Years ago, two children were found next to a pit full of angry, snarling wolves (okay... not really. It was just a pit). What makes this situation even weirder? The kids were green! Where did they come from? Were they fae? Aliens? Sickly humans? Sadly, with this happening so many centuries ago, we may never know for sure.Thank you so much for listening!

EPSIODE 91 | Tartaria Sauce : The Great Tartarian Empire and 15-Minute Cities One day, I wondered if there were any conspiracy theories about architecture, which is something I am quite keen on, so I fired up the laptop and did a Google search, and sure enough, there is. One. One that's weird and funny and just a little bit sad. While researching this, a new conspiracy pops up on the interwebs, this time about urban planning, another subject I‘m very interested in. And so, between the Tartarian Empire/Great Mud Flood theory, and the newly minted freak out about 15-minute cities, it felt like this episode of Conspiracy Clearinghouse was sort of writing itself.

The Parliament of the World's Religions is the world's premier interfaith convening of civic, spiritual, and grassroots changemakers. It's roots are in Chicago, where it first convened during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. During this episode of the Crisis Cast, Lissa Druss & Thom Serafin document the return of spiritual leaders representing more than 80 nations, to the shores of Lake Michigan. Their guests are part of this summer's "call to conscience" when it comes to human rights. In our chat room for this conversation are Rev. Stephen Avino, Executive Director of the Parliament, and David Hales, Chairman of the Climate Action Task Force.
“A souvenir can be anything from a travel experience that honors a certain moment in your life, certifies the journey that took you there, and celebrates the confluence of people and places and actions that made it possible.” – Rolf Potts In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Suzanne talk about the ways souvenirs help narrate our travel experiences (2:00); the five different historical categories of travel souvenirs (7:30); the old trend of collecting hair and bones from famous people (15:00); what kinds of souvenirs are popular with travelers (20:00); which souvenirs Rolf sought when he visited Australia, and how some souvenirs make less sense when you get them home (24:30); then Rolf and Gina talk about childhood travel souvenirs (30:00); how photographs are a kind of souvenir, and how they create different memories than objects (36:00); and how the notion of "authenticity" in regard to souvenirs can be complicated (40:00). Suzanne Hill is the presenter of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's "Weekend Nightlife."

Louis Sullivan was an architect working in Chicago at the dawn of the skyscraper.

Welcome back to episode 69 of The Great Deception Podcast where I dive into the interesting story of the Inter-State Industrial Exposition building, aka the Glass Palace of Chicago. Constructed in 1873, in just 90 days, it was modeled after Crystal Palaces of London and NY, and was the precursor to the Columbian Exposition of 1893. After 19 years it was demolished to be replaced by the Palace of Fine Arts, the only 'permanent' structure from the 1893 Chicago World Fair. Please leave a review & share the show!

How does one explain art? Art means something to each beholder. Art is an experience unique to each of us. What some like, others may not like, or just be lukewarm to the concept. Such is the experience of our audiences. Some like what we do while others may not. In some cases they may not even understand what we are trying to communicate. But for the most part, most magicians don't have a message or concept they are trying to get across to their audiences. Moreover, most of us just try to “entertain” with our magic without thinking of what deeper messages we could be exploring or displaying. Our guest this week, Jeanette Andrews, is what I would call a true “artist” in the sense that she thinks deeply about the aesthetics of her props and the message she wants them to convey. More than just the visual of the staging, she also gives attention and importance to the accompanying music selections. She has also tapped into a heretofore rather unexplored target market of art patrons of museums and galleries. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize In her early years in Chicago, Jeanette was heavily influenced by her mentor, Eugene Burger. She tells about some of the great advice he taught her and how it influenced her act and career and even her lifestyle. She also discusses her act and how she incorporates art into her act. Her act is more like looking at art in galleries as she creates striking poses and slowly displays each piece she touches and incorporates into her show.

In a world before Zoom conferences, virtual meet-ups, and social media, getting together and connecting with other people took a lot of time, and traveling to other countries was pretty much a non-starter for any normal person. And when countries wanted to show off their shiny new inventions and of course make other countries jealous, how were they supposed to do that? Well, what if there was one, single, blowout event that brought together people from across the globe? That could be a good start - and 130 years ago, a certain windy city was the perfect place to do just that. Ray teaches Rob about the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, which was one of the biggest demonstrations of global ingenuity and culture in history; why frequent flyers can thank the exposition for saving them walking time; what "medicinal peanut paste" and "unfermented grape juice" are called today; how to out-Eiffel Eiffel; and how the idea of a World's Exposition is carried on in modern equivalents.

Today in 1892, an engineering team working on Chicago's Columbian Exposition approved a design for a giant metal wheel that could give rides to passengers. Here's the story of the Ferris wheel and how it was partly intended to one-up a certain iconic structure from the previous World's Fair. Plus: today in 1962, Nepal adopted its national flag, the only non-rectangular national flag in the world. Did You Know That the First-Ever Ferris Wheel Was Built in Chicago?

His pupils adored him, and a lecture hall, hotel, ski lodge, mountain peak, and mountain crest have all been named after him.Listen now to learn more!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at: https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastThank you for listening!
In the 1890s, Chicago was gearing up for the World's Columbian Exposition, a fair so grand that it would leave no question as to the city's ability to rebuild after the Great Fire of 1871, and the country's industrial prowess. But this excitement gave cover for more sinister activities; a convenience enjoyed by H. H. Holmes, America's first serial killer.

Learn about the complicated beginnings of global interfaith dialogue in a groundbreaking 17-day conference at Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition.
The Haskell Home Orphanage was built in 1894 in Battle Creek Michigan, under the guidance of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, and funded by Caroline Haskell, and widow who had visited the Sanitarium and wanted to contribute to the community. The model for the building was featured at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 when it was being constructed. It was a beautiful three story building with an attic, basement and limestone and wood. It had a 1/2 pitch Gothic roof, with a immense veranda that spanned the front of facade. It became a home where an average of 100 to 150 children at a time would be housed, educated and nurtured into adulthood. In the early hours of a February morning in 1909, a fire broke out in the building which quickly spread to all three stories. The tragedy would not only destroy the last orphanage that existed in Battle Creek, and likely Southwest Michigan, but also three children would perish in the fury of the blaze. In this episode I interview author Jim Jackson who wrote the book: The Haskell Home Orphanage Tragedy.
