the war may have become americans, but awarding the feet had become even one pocket and was unfolded watershed moment . okay. down in history books. as a market beginning of the end of american pre eminence, this is the end of america. ah, me how i started my interests, i should say in black americans in the soviet union, the theories was finding this portrait, even though i've gone to grad school and the master's degree in russian literature . i speak russian and i had lived over there in the late eighty's finding this portrait was, was a stunning development for me. how did i not know about this?

i didn't know that this is a phenomenon that there were many african americans who went to russia in the, in the thirty's, in the 1920s infinity of several 100 african americans moved to the soviet union. and many of their descendants still live in russia. there was no, no rush for us to stuck. yes. you choose to nice things that you love, the issue of the russians that i meet here. they 1st say like a pay your partner, that when i speak russian and then wait, wait, wait, the nation that was go back home, black americans suffer from racism and a complete lack of prospects. i just said, now you got them out for some of the real builders in still migrate them dealers. nation one by by doing so clincher. so they decided

to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all. some of the african americans who went to soviet union in 1930, found great success monet, though, if you didn't want to go as much less than that, you know, almost a 100 years later a history is repeating itself. my great grandfather george times, went to russia on probably the worst time to go anywhere. why not mean? when i come here? i

might be a little bit lick on the school. oil is all them off and i made a cinema. but every me in my bubble skin, which is what it is, i suppose the others could be really deal is short. i made a gun, some bullying slip my bumps, kavinski malicious when you posting it to show me a me to get mixed race. couple horse that's an issue in the united states, i think primarily because of, of the jim crow laws of that, that intense hatred of african americans. so this notion that you could mix was, was absolutely impossible for many whites to accept that it was illegal in many states. but you know, my bumps convince google to service because you know what beautiful,

almost tiny shuttle when they deem it come. when you let them store that, i near near the door i see below it says this is a new country being she says it has a constitution that actually says that they are close to racial and gender and all different kinds of discrimination. my grandfather and george time is from as michel in virginia. and he ended up in rush, in the most peculiar way. she was a friend, an amazing contract with the ministry of culture in russia. and he pretty much got into both and ended up in the soviet union in 1930. it's important to remember that this was the period of the great depression. and it

was also a period in which the she'll be a government was doing massive recruitment people with technical skill. ah, he graduated university of agriculture. if there is no career moves, there's no jobs and there's so much discrimination. what are you supposed to do? he went to a country where she had no clue what was going on. you watch rush on the news. so that union communism. why would you want to go there? george time had a dream and he found a solution. and team he made history. some of the african americans who went to soviet union and in 1900 thirty's, found great success. you look at lawyer patterson and his son,

james patterson. james patterson became a national icon. the baby in the famous film circuits in the police. the movie circuit has an extraordinary story behind it. i think it was said to be stolen. favorite the opening scene as a woman running from an angry crowd, threatening her and throwing rocks at her. realize that the bundle she's been carrying is her black child. this german impresario, as the climax of the film,

revealed the truth to the audience in the circus that she has a black child. and of course, the soviet responses. so what do we care? we don't care if he's purple or pocket out it. and then he, little jimmy is pass to various members of the audience who e thing him, a lullaby. and one of the language is the me, me, i mean, it couldn't be more sac or in and more propagandistic. but, but it hit all the right nerves at the time is incredibly popular. even the song should, i should have that on my read and i was even a sort of a de facto anthem of the soviet union

i it's definitely fair to say that the soviet union where the prominent leader and anti racism at the government level. if it's not just a it's the teacher again, i'm not sure. i think what, what was, what was that little black boy from the circus movie is now 87. he was born and raised in the soviet union. he served in the navy as a sub mariner, and he became an author. he wrote short stories in the early 19 ninety's after the soviet union. jim patterson moved to the usa to his father lloyd patterson's
