In this June 20, 2017 photos, Novelist Colson Whitehead speaks to fans after discussing his Pulitzer prize-winning book "The Underground Railroad" at the English-language bookstore Shakespeare and Company in Paris. Travelers to Paris can create a different type of itinerary exploring African-American connections to the City of Light. Some of the United States' greatest black intellectuals and performers sought an escape here from the racism of 20th century America, and with a little homework, you can retrace their footsteps.
