Light's Golden Jubilee : ウィキペディア英語版 | Light's Golden Jubilee Light’s Golden Jubilee was a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb, held on October 21, 1929, just days before the stock market crash of 1929 that swept the United States headlong into the Great Depression.〔 Greg Grandin, ''Fordlandia: the Rise and Fall of Henry Ford’s Forgotten Jungle City'' (New York: Henry Holt & Company, 2009), 169 〕 The Jubilee also served as the dedication of Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village, originally known as the Thomas Edison Institute. ==Origins== Originally, “Light’s Golden Jubilee” was a celebration organized by the General Electric Company, which had absorbed Edison’s original business and saw great business value in drawing connections between itself and the illustrious inventor.〔 Matthew Josephson, ''Edison: A Biography'' (New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc., 1959), 477 〕 Thomas Edison and his family, however, believed that the aging inventor was being used and appealed to Henry Ford, Edison’s long-time friend.〔 Matthew Josephson, ''Edison: A Biography'' (New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc., 1959), 477-478 〕 Eventually, the celebration turned into a collaboration between Henry Ford and General Electric, though Ford won control over much of the ceremony, which he relocated from its planned location in Schenectady, New York — General Electric’s headquarters — to Dearborn, Michigan, the site of Ford’s Greenfield Village.〔 Matthew Josephson, ''Edison: A Biography'' (New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc., 1959), 478 〕
