We have released a video on Fair Park in Dallas, Texas, the site of the 1936 Texas Centennial. The art and architecture make up a triumphalist vision of white supremacy. 

It defines itself as an empire exhibition in its own promotional literature. It has much in common with the other empire and colonial expositions and exhibitions of the 1930s. The video is online on YouTube.

We are also looking for co-signers for a letter asking that the white supremacy of Fair Park be addressed.  The letter is online at the following URL. You can also see who has co-signed the letter so far.

There is going to be a paper made available also. We have a current document, but it is being updated to include our learnings over the last six months. Expect to have the updated paper online by next Sunday. 

The 1936 Texas Centennial is being compared to the European and South African expositions.  We would be interested in any Empire Exhibitions we have missed and some help with the Japanese ones. Thanks.
