Haitian Pavilion

D elicate , f unky , f lo R al

The government of Haiti hired famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass to lead the development of this Pavilion, marking it as the only structure to officially include Black Americans in its planning. Pioneering activist Ida B. Wells co-authored the influential pamphlet The Reason Why, which she distributed to fairgoers inside the Pavilion to protest the exclusion of Black American cultural and technological innovations. As a result, a single day in August was designated to celebrate these achievements.

A portion of the proceeds from this cocktail will go towards Brown & Balanced
