Yale Alumni Academy Presents: ‘The Black Russian’

The Black Russian is the biography of Frederick Bruce Thomas, the remarkable son of former slaves in Mississippi who, against all odds, became a multimillionaire entrepreneur in tsarist Moscow and the “Sultan of Jazz” in Constantinople. Although Thomas was famous during his lifetime (1872-1928), he was forgotten for some eighty years until Vladimir Alexandrov’s biography, which is based on research in archives and libraries in five countries, brought him back to the public memory.

Day of Remembrance

Signed on February 19, 1942, Executive Order 9066 had massive consequences for the Japanese American community during World War II. It led to the unjust incarceration of almost 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens. The Day of Remembrance is an annual, nationwide tradition set on the anniversary of the Executive Order that commemorates this dark moment in US history to ensure that it does not happen again.
