Download or read book Spectacle written by Pamela Newkirk and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2016 NAACP Image Award Winner An award-winning journalist reveals a little-known and shameful episode in American history, when an African man was used as a human zoo exhibit—a shocking story of racial prejudice, science, and tragedy in the early years of the twentieth century in the tradition of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Devil in the White City, and Medical Apartheid. In 1904, Ota Benga, a young Congolese “pygmy”—a person of petite stature—arrived from central Africa and was featured in an anthropology exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Two years later, the New York Zoological Gardens displayed him in its Monkey House, caging the slight 103-pound, 4-foot 11-inch tall man with an orangutan. The attraction became an international sensation, drawing thousands of New Yorkers and commanding headlines from across the nation and Europe. Spectacle explores the circumstances of Ota Benga’s captivity, the international controversy it inspired, and his efforts to adjust to American life. It also reveals why, decades later, the man most responsible for his exploitation would be hailed as his friend and savior, while those who truly fought for Ota have been banished to the shadows of history. Using primary historical documents, Pamela Newkirk traces Ota’s tragic life, from Africa to St. Louis to New York, and finally to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he lived out the remainder of his short life. Illuminating this unimaginable event, Spectacle charts the evolution of science and race relations in New York City during the early years of the twentieth century, exploring this racially fraught era for Africa-Americans and the rising tide of political disenfranchisement and social scorn they endured, forty years after the end of the Civil War. Shocking and compelling Spectacle is a masterful work of social history that raises difficult questions about racial prejudice and discrimination that continue to haunt us today.

Book excerpt: No one saw more baseball during the 20th century than Gabriel "Gabe" Howard Paul, Sr. For sixty years between 1920 and 1984, with time out for service in World War Two, Gabe Paul spent time in the national pastime as a bat boy, newspaper correspondent, press-agent (Rochester Hustlers now Red Wings), traveling secretary, general manager, vice-president, president and part owner (Cincinnati Reds, Houston Colt 45s, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees). Twice (1956 Reds) and (1974 Yankees) Gabe Paul was named Major League Executive of the Year by The Sporting News. Paul is only the fifth baseball executive to win the award more than once since it was established in 1936. As a general manager, Gabe Paul was a throwback to a time when baseball executives had to make trades to improve their teams. As he neared the end of his career in major league baseball in 1982, Paul estimated that he had made 500 deals involving hundreds of players.
