4rAnd helps explains why black people were almost always allowed to give concerts,
5sEven though they couldn’t buy a ticket to one.
6But the popularity of jazz hadn’t really become worldwide yet at the time Woodrow Wilson became president,
7tBecause it was Wilson who was responsible for finally making the rest of the world notice that America was there,
8Whether they liked it or not.
