Say After free Frances victory french nationals see free France as the future for France and choose to try and support it threw financial military or just by moving there/making a New France.

A French master swordsman of African descent

Hello. Some years ago after diving into the Google rabbit hole, searching for interesting tidbits of the Victorian era, I ran across an interesting article about African/black fighters and swordsmen through the centuries. One in particular caught my eye, and I was hoping to learn more about him and his daughter.

His name is Jean-Louis Michel. From what I've found, he was the son of a Haitian slave and a white man. (Of course, back in 1785 Haiti was called St. Domingue.)

Anyhoo, his father loved him, educated him, and it turned out he was a fencing prodigy. Said to be merciful, (in a time where duels were the norm, he never killed if he could help it) but undefeated, he is the founding father of the French school of fencing, and his best student was his own daughter.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find her name or anymore details about her. Would any of you be able to shed light on that, or share any more details of Mr. Michel himself? I'd be very interested. Thank you!

After the 2018 World Cup there was a lot of talk in the Anglo-American world about how the majority of the French team had African Origins was there much talked about this in France?

Some people were racist calling them FrAfrica and things like this. Alot of right wing people used it as an opportunity to promote their ideas of too much immigration etc . Did this happen in France too?

I am visiting an (extremely) poverty stricken African village that primarily speaks french. What low cost / engaging linux based toys can I gift to the kids.

Keep in mind that:

  • most people have no running water, but a few people do have electricity

  • there's no internet and 2g/3g/lte networks are so bad that they're down 60% of the time

  • most kids don't speak english, so need some sort of a reliable offline language translator

There's also little to no sunlight - it's mostly cloudy/gloomy and humid, so solar panels would be inefficient I think.

The obvious is getting a bunch of Raspberry Pi 4's with keyboards and mice etc for a bunch of kids with enough useful programs/software (like a french wikipedia, translator etc) that can function offline.

But, figured I'd ask ya'll first.
