To a young thespian, the stage is where you feel most at home. Black entertainers on America stages did not always feel welcome. Many Black American artists left the U.S, and went specifically to Paris, France in response to the racism and discrimination they were facing in America. Through their stories we can see how discrimination affected Black artists and how finding a place where you belong can help you feel more at home.
