Geert Mak
Hoewel het overgrote deel van de Vrije Fransen in werkelijkheid bestond uit de zwarte Senegalese manschappen – in de zomer van 1944 waren daarvan al 17 000 gesneuveld – mochten ze geen deel uitmaken van de heldenontvangst in Parijs. De eerste grote parade op het Europese continent zou anders één grote zwarte show zijn geworden en dat, zo onthulde de BBC meer dan een halve eeuw later, wilden de Amerikanen tot iedere prijs voorkomen.
Geert Mak, Wisselwachter

Jean-Paul Sartre
This obsessing heart which does not correspond To my language, nor to my customs, And on which encroach, like a clinging-root, Borrowed feelings and the customs Of Europe, feel this suffering And this despair—equal to no other— Of ever taming with words from France This heart which came to me from Sénegal. - Haitian poet
Jean-Paul Sartre, Black Orpheus
