520    The Black Russian is the incredible story of Frederick 
       Bruce Thomas, born in 1872 to former slaves who became 
       prosperous farmers in Mississippi. A rich white planter's 
       attempt to steal their land forced them to flee to Memphis,
       where Frederick's father was brutally murdered. After 
       leaving the South and working as a waiter and valet in 
       Chicago and Brooklyn, Frederick sought greater freedom in 
       London, then crisscrossed Europe, and-in a highly unusual 
       choice for a black American at the time-went to Russia in 
       1899. Because he found no color line there, Frederick made
       Moscow his home. He renamed himself Fyodor Fyodorovich 
       Tomas, married twice, acquired a mistress, and took 
       Russian citizenship. Through his hard work, charm, and 
       guile he became one of the city's richest and most famous 
       owners of variety theaters and restaurants. But the 
       Bolshevik Revolution ruined him, and he barely escaped 
       with his life and family to Constantinople in 1919. 
       Starting from scratch, he made a second fortune by opening
       celebrated nightclubs that introduced jazz to Turkey. 
       However, the long arm of American racism, the xenophobia 
       of the new Turkish Republic, and Frederick's own 
       extravagance landed him in debtors' prison. He died in 
       Constantinople in 1928.
