American President Ronald Reagan hosted a dinner at the White House in 1987 after becoming President of the United States. During the reception, the First Lady circulated among the guests to greet them. Her attention was drawn to a Black man, dressed modestly. Among the white guests, she hadn't recognized him.
She approached him, with a politeness tinged with condescension, and said to him: “Sir, may I know what you did to deserve this invitation to the dinner?” He replied to her: “I changed the course of music five or six times…
And you, what have you done to become First Lady, other than marrying the president?” The man was Miles Davis, one of the greatest jazz musicians in United States history.
He was a composer, trumpeter, bandleader, arranger, autobiographer, jazz musician, actor, songwriter, and film score composer, and he neither accepted nor tolerated humiliation for the color of his skin.
