An exhibit of books and original charts analyzing the scientific and democratic truths about race and race prejudice was opened in the Hall of Science and Education of the New York World’s Fair today by Dr. Gerald-Wendt, the Fair’s director of science and education, and Prof. Franz Boas, world renowned expert on racial questions.
The exhibit was prepared by the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom as a feature of its American Rediscovery Week program. The committee announced that similar exhibits will be set up in hundreds of college and general book stores, libraries, and class rooms throughout the country, as part of its campaign “to lay bare the sources of prejudice” which threaten American democratic institutions.
