Jim Crow Tendency
In order to please U. S. tourists some proprietors of cafes and night restaurants in the Latin Quarter and Montmartre decided to ignore the national motto Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite and bar Negroes from entering their establishments.
Since the forcible ejection of pugilist Siki from the New York Bar in Paris, discussion of Negro rights has become serious. Even the Chamber of Deputies is going to discuss the question of whether a cafe proprietor has the right to eject black Frenchmen.
