Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Note that the exposition attracted blacks as well as whites who wanted to learn more about science and the latest developments in society.
2. Explain that three all-black colleges contributed displays that showed blacks practicing trades and skills.
3. Note that the fair had a separate Negro Day for blacks, that Frederick Douglass spoke at the event, and that Ida B. Wells was critical of it. Douglass's speech was critical of white supremacy and embraced the Constitution.
