Caesar Antoine : ウィキペディア英語版 | Caesar Antoine
Caesar Carpentier Antoine (1836–1921) was a politician, the third of three African-American Republicans who were elected and served as the Lieutenant Governor of the U.S. state of Louisiana during the era of Reconstruction. He left office in 1877, the last Republican to hold the lieutenant governorship until 1988. That year Paul Jude Hardy, a former Louisiana Secretary of State and a former Democrat, was elected. Antoine was also a soldier, businessman, and editor. ==Biography== Antoine was born in New Orleans, the mixed-race son of Dominique Antoine, a Louisiana Creole who was a member of the ''Corps d'Afrique'' and veteran of the Battle of New Orleans.〔 His mother was Marie, a native of the West Indies.〔 She was said to be the daughter of an African chief who had been captured in warfare and sold into slavery by a rival tribe.〔 Antoine's father paid for the boy to attend private schools in New Orleans; he became fluent in French and English and was part of the well-established class of free people of color in the city. On reaching adulthood, the young Antoine first worked as a barber,〔 a respected position at a time when many men went regularly to the barber, and some in the trade established elite clientele.
