    Deneen Jeffries But she did get one thing wrong @3.05, it was actually Dean who refused to attend the inauguration when he found out that Sammy had been 'uninvited' by the Kennedy's. In fact I believe it was Sinatra who helped to organise the whole thing, or at least to arrange for many big Hollywood stars to be there.

    Linda Shelley the interviewer got it wrong also. I know Dean totally stuck up for Sammy and didn't go... I'm sure Sinatra wasn't thrilled about what happened to Sammy but he owed some people.... eventually Kennedy dissed Frank too....

    Elvera Sanchez was born in Manhattan, NY and she was the daughter of Ida Aguiar and Marcos Sanchez, Ida was born in New York she was the daughter of Ida Henderson, an American woman from Connecticut who was of mixed Afro American and Native American Indian ancestry and Enrique Aguiar an Afro Latino from the Spanish Caribbean Island of Cuba, Ida Henderson died while giving birth to her daughter, leaving Enrique to raise their daughter alone. Ida Aguiar at the age of fourteen meet and married Marco Sanchez, who was also a Latino immigrant from Cuba and was a full blooded Hispanic, meaning he was a White person of Spanish European origin, Ida Aguiar and Marco Sanchez had four children together but only two lived into adulthood those two were Elvera and her sister Julia. So, Elvera Sanchez was of Afro Latina Cuban, Afro American, Native American Indian, and Spaniard Cuban descent. I could tell Sammy had Native American blood in him by looking at his mother and Sammy himself.

    I've been researching about Sammy's life and i am so disgusted of the treatment he was given from the showbusiness and from the people from both sides of segregation. I am also surprised that this happened in the 1950's and 60's. I live in the Montréal area and i saw way more tolerance at that time. I am not saying that there wasn't any racism in my area but it was never has bad as what i am learning about all the prejudices Sammy had to endure.

    Louise: What percentage of minorities lived in Montreal during those years and or now? Also, did the minorities assimilate and work hard, or was it the opposite? Historically, in France, if one does not speak French, one is generally treated differently (rudely), especially in Paris.
