I just watched a very interesting bio of #HazelScott on #PBS #AmericanMasters.

Scott was a #Black woman who was a #MusicalProdigy who was enrolled at #Julliard at a very young age, who mastered the classics but who made a living mainly playing jazz & #popular music w/crossovers to classical music.

Hazel was married (for a time) to #AdamClaytonPowell, had the 1st TV show in the 50's staring a #Black performer before #NatKingCole got one, made a few movies on her own terms before being #BlackListed from the #movies & from #TV because she stood up for the herself & the rights of others & who lived for a time in #Paris, like a lot of Black creative people did to escape the discrimination they felt in the #US.

If any of this interests you, I recommend that you watch the episode which you can find in the link below:

Carlo de Rose est considéré comme l’un des précurseurs de l’aviation de chasse. Son nom est associé à la bataille de Verdun. Le roman de Jean Rousselot lui rend un émouvant hommage. #Julliard #Verdun #14-18
