London and Paris, the imperial cities of England and France, have withstood — and often shaped — the march of history for centuries. Lesser known in the history books is the fact that Black people came from all over Europe and Africa and settled in London & Paris, where their presence is significant but little known. In fact, the presence of Africans in England dates back to at least the Roman period when African soldiers who served as part of the Roman army were stationed at Hadrian’s Wall during the 2nd century AD.
More recently, African Americans migrated to Paris in the 19th century; some were in search of a more peaceful environment, while others found themselves in Paris and other parts of France during World War I. A second wave of African Americans flocked to Paris during the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, when black artists and activists like Josephine Baker and Duke Ellington went looking for a place to freely create, which Paris provided. Experience the highlights & history of London & Paris together on this Black History-focused itinerary that combines English tradition with Parisian flair.
