The French historian Henri Blet claimed: "Frenchmen have never adopted racial doctrines affirming the superiority of whites over men of color."
Yet France, like other European powers, was an active participant in the transatlantic slave trade and developed a colonial empire that systematically subordinated blacks to whites.
Persons of color came to France in the late 19th and early 20th century. As in prior centuries most worked as servants, although artists and intellectuals also settled in France or stayed for extended periods.Prominent 20th Century visitors were preceded by Ira Aldridge in 1867; Frederick Douglass in 1886; Mary Church Terrell, who repeatedly visited between 1888 and 1921; and Booker T. Washington in 1899.
Many 20th-century black musicians, writers, and artists experienced France as a haven of racial tolerance.W. E. B. Du Bois fell in love with France during visits in 1894, 1906, and in 1918, when he was sent by the NAACP to investigate anti-black prejudice in the American forces in France during WWI.
