In 200 words or more, please examine material from one of the sessions from this week: the lecture Celebrating the Nation: The Columbian Exposition or the film New York City, The 1920s. The entries should focus on certain items of students' choosing on what they found interesting (individuals, events, ideas, artifacts, etc.) and to assess their broader cultural significance (why are these issues important to know?).

The responses must include specific evidence from the course material. Please include anywhere in your response one direct quote from the instructor (for the lecture) or from the film.

• The quote should be in quotation marks to denote it from the student's response.
• The quote may include words from a lecture slide but must elaborate on the material with regard to what the instructor stated (or the narrator in the film).
• The lecture or film may themselves quote historical figures: these may be used as your quote but must be elaborated on re: what these figures meant.
• The quote may be placed anywhere in the response: to start or end the analysis or to support an idea anywhere in the response.
• No reference format is required to cite the quote.
