• (Walk through the 20th Century with Bill Moyers, A series, Part 6) Out of the great 19th Century European trade shows came a 20th Century American phenomenon, providing recreation, inspiration and a cultural barometer--World's Fairs. From Chicago's Fair in 1893 to the one in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1982 the United States has hosted nine of them. Bill Moyers notes that fairs, wittingly or unwittingly, have reflected America's changing views about the future. (Deposited by Chevron U.S.A.)
