Eugène Bullard (1895-1961)
One
of the major biographies on the AfriClassical.com biographical page
on Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges is based is Le
chevalier de Saint-George (2004),
written in French by
Claude Ribbe. The author sends his best wishes for 2013 and alerts
us to an essay posted yesterday at his website,
http://www.claude-ribbe.com/,
Il y a cent
cinquante ans, Lincoln émancipait les esclaves,
which
can be translated as: 150
Years Ago, Lincoln Freed the Slaves.
Claude Ribbe calls his book Eugène Bullard the first French account of the African American "aviator, jazzman, boxer, music hall performer and secret agent" Eugène Bullard (1895-1961).
