Top Comments of this video!! :3
I am a big black rugged guy with broad shoulders, but this story of such a man, Joseph Bologne, brought tears to my eyes. What a struggle and triumph in life that we will never know the true nature of. This was a magnificent piece of Black History history that many of us were denied in our schools and goes to show you how weak some were/are... though not all. Let us learn more of this 'lost' history and learn to understand each other... Truthfully. This was a truly well presented piece. Thank you.

First off, let me thank the content creators at Royalty Now for sharing this amazing piece of history. I find it extremely hurtful as a black man in today's society for not learning about this information while I was in college. While in college, my major was classical music, and I never was taught this. Sad.

Letās give credit to J. A. Rogers, the self taught Jamaican-American historian who presented the biographic information about the Chevalier to the English speaking world in the 1950ās. There is a beautiful biopic about him here on YouTube. France officially recognised him in the typically condescending manner by calling him the āBlack Mozartā while in reality he inspired& sponsored Mozart as nicely stated in this video - thx a lot

Iām French-American, a composer and music producer living in the US, and fiercely progressive politically and socially.
This video was so moving and beautiful, I found myself in tears multiple times.
Thank you for this gorgeous bit of important history.
And yes, the Reign of Terror was horrible, and we still speak about it with a shudder.

Your renderings of Joseph Bologne are simply breathtaking, especially the one of him fully smiling (with beautiful teeth). I loved the entire storytelling and am so glad to have stumbled upon this important person in history. Of course, we never get this type of history in American education, public or private schools. Thank you so much.

As a Black man that has been playing the violin since the age of six I am up lifted filled with dignity & pride and so proud that God gave me the gift of having the opportunity to play the violin even when everyone around me bashed me for it. It fills my spirit with joy to see stories like this in a world where a man like me is profiled and looked at as not good enough, envied, and hated for being who I am in my own skin. The more I grow the more I understand who I am and who I come from. True creators , inventors, healers, masters of any craft we get our hands on. Know who you are and become the best version of self. Believe in your self . You can do anything you put your mind too even when all odds are stack against you because you are the true aboriginal. Amen
