Discoveries of Christopher Columbus Celebrated on World's Fair DVD
For centuries Christopher Columbus' voyages of exploration in the 'New World' have been recognized by Americans each year on the second Monday of October. Columbus' travels led to a settlement on the island of Hispanola, raised awareness and led the way for European settlers that followed him. Now a National Holiday observed by most businesses and institutions to honor his legacy, no Columbus Day celebrations have matched the size and intensity of the 400th anniversary, the historic World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. In many ways, the Chicago World's Fair served as a symbol of the emerging 'American Exceptionalism'. Relive the memories of the renowned fair in the Janson Media DVD Expo: Magic of the White City (1 x 116') available now worldwide.
