For me, as the child of immigrant parents from Ghana, West Africa, born in the American South, raised in Manhattan, Kansas, and having attended the same elite school as Du Bois, I could see that the Buffalo fair effectively pitted the black Northerner against the Southerner, the educated against the uneducated, and the African American against the African.
Para mí, como hija de padres inmigrantes de Ghana, África Occidental, nacida en el sur de EE. UU., criada en Manhattan, Kansas, y habiendo asistido a la misma escuela de élite que Du Bois, vi que la feria de Buffalo enfrentó efectivamente al negro norteño contra el sureño, los educados contra los no educados, y el afroamericano contra el africano.
