Yep. Human zoos were a thing. Not only in America, but in a lot of countries in Europe. Matter of fact, it was Europe that started the terrible exhibits back in the 1800s, then New York started having the “zoos” in the 20th century. Over 28 million white would go to these “zoos” to see hundreds of black and indigenous people as a “major attraction”.
People who suffered in these zoos might still be alive.
Do not let this be lost in history.
Ainu people from Hokkaido displayed in a human zoo in the 1904 St. Louis World Fair.
