The Universe Dials In

You may or may not have read my recent post about American jazz musicians seeking refuge in the French Riviera — and not only to perform.

Miles Davis walked the beach near Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where he mostly remained in solitude just recharging his soul and body.

Apple News just shared one of those “on this day 100 years ago” articles from yesterday. It makes for such preposterous reading, that no further comment is necessary — only sharing the words.

Pharrell would approve, loving Paris as much as I do. ~ Anne

French Reaction to Prejudice

The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued the following statement for publication, published on August 2, 1923:

“Some foreign tourists, forgetting that they are our guests and that they, therefore, owe respect to our customs and our laws, have lately, on several occasions, violently shown their disapproval when they have found men of colour from French colonies sitting near them in public places. They have even gone so far as to demand their expulsion in insulting terms. If similar incidents recur measures of redress will be taken.”

The Racists in Paris Were White American Tourists

The foreign tourists not respecting French customs and laws were Americans. Follow the link at top of post to the entire story of the ugly [and presumably rich] Americans in Paris.
