I stumbled across this article, and I think it fascinating. I am a bit concerned about the it-was-probably-racism thing at the end of the piece. I don't doubt it, but I think some evidence might be helpful? Something of the same sort may be appropriate in the remark about Rillieux's yellow-fever solution for New Orleans; the villain of the piece is described as a former employee of Rillieux, and some idea of how they parted company and how that engendered ill-feeling and so on, would be useful? -- djenner03:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
"Like many free blacks, Rillieux experienced increasing racial discrimination prior to the Civil War, and he left Louisiana to spend the rest of his life in Paris."
I did research for this Rillieux man for a project for my teacher she said Rillieux was a tidy man and was well mannered he said he was in her words "Muy Grande Peqeuno" I don't know what that means. So this man was a very great man for inventing a better way to get sugar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.189.187.252 ( talk) 23:00, 11 February 2018 (UTC) -- 216.189.187.252 ( talk) 23:04, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
