Join us on a swanky time-trip to 1893's World's Columbian Exposition, a glittering spectacle that'd make today's expos seem like quaint tea parties. Step into the White City, where neoclassical wonders soared. But beware! This dazzling facade conceals a juicy tale rivaling a Gilded Age soap opera, starring racism, inequality, and colonialism.

We'll spill the historical tea, revealing how this event epitomized the Gilded Age's opulence and controversy. Societal norms were a rollercoaster no one signed up for. Fast forward to today, where echoes of this extravagant extravaganza continue to shape our view of history, culture, and the fight for equality. Buckle up, grab your monocle, and tight-laced-corset, as we embark on a wild ride through one of America's most unforgettable moments!
