Exactly 80 years after Beethoven’s death, in 1907, the British composer
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor began speculating that Beethoven was black.
Colderidge-Taylor was mixed race – with a white English mother and a
Sierra Leonean father - and said that he couldn’t help noticing
remarkable likenesses between his own facial features and images of
Beethoven’s. Having recently returned from the segregated US,
Coleridge-Taylor projected his experiences there onto the German
composer. “If the greatest of all musicians were alive today, he would
find it impossible to obtain hotel accommodation in certain American
cities.”
