Piedmont Park in Atlanta is the green space beloved. Originally a gentleman’s club for riding horses is now 185 acres in a park in the heart of the city. The reasons were changed in 1895 when the cotton and the international trade fair held on the premises. For nearly a year before the exposure, workers leveled the ground for low hills constructed, enlarged a pond to a lake, and built large buildings host fair. Atlanta had voiced programs earlier and smaller, but in the year 1895 is commonly called “exposure Atlanta” because of their size – both literally and figuratively. It is this question that the division of the park in its current form based.
Nearly one million people visited the exhibition in Atlanta, including President U. S. Grover Cleveland, U. S. President William McKinley, Buffalo Bill, and many governors and civilian officials. More exhibits of 6000 present the results of the day as inventions in the field of electricity, agriculture, transportation and manufacturing. There were twelve major buildings – each crammed with remarkable pieces presented capacities in the world.

Education was stressed in the Atlanta Exposition and schools from kindergarten to university facilities and services provided to their shows.
One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibition in Atlanta has been the effect of the fair on the African American race relations. This was the place where Booker T. Washington made his famous “Atlanta Compromise” speech. She was 30 years free since the civil war of the land of slavery and fought in America establishing civil rights for African Americans. The speech Atlanta Compromise was the opening ceremony of the exhibition in Atlanta on 18 given in September 1895. Booker T. Washington calls for racial harmony through social segregation in exchange for black economic opportunity and education. The speech was generally on time as an acceptable way to keep the newly freed African-Americans to take acceptable, but it was not more to promote genuine equality of critical races. It was a first step towards ensuring equal civil rights for all Americans, regardless of race.
Today, the site at Piedmont Park is still very similar to the state fair in Atlanta. The walls, stairs, planters and grills in the park remain unchanged when they were built in 1895. The finish line for the Peachtree Road Race, AIDS Walk Atlanta, and cancer within 3 days are in the parks. Residents run, walk their dogs, sports and games in the park on a daily basis.
