Commodore Lewis Warrington must have known there would be nosy people like me who would want to know every aspect about his life which is why he rarely left anything for biographers to work with.

Most can agree that he was very much a “behind the scenes” kind of person but that doesn’t excuse not letting people know that he had accomplishments worth mentioning! What are they? I’m not sure but I would know if the man actually said anything about his “hey I’m actually kind of interesting” life!

A lot of things I’ve read online are mostly from letters talking about or mentioning him and whatever biographers can scrape together about him. I want an actual book people because “books” are too much to ask for apparently!

The only thing I could gather about him besides being an illegitimate son of French nobility and few victories during the War of 1812 are as follows….

He replaced Commodore David Porter leading a squadron around the West Indies to eradicate pirates. John Quincy Adams even mentioned him in his State of the Union address.

After the USS Princeton explosion that killed John Tyler’s Secretary of the Navy Thomas Gilmer, Warrington served a month until the replacement John Y. Mason took the office.

I think Warrington was involved with the creation of the Naval Academy in Annapolis but I’m not sure. There just isn’t a lot of sources that I can cross reference for accuracy.

As much as I wanted it, I couldn’t in good conscience enter an auction for a letter at an irresponsible price. Plus is was written by William Bainbridge so points lost on that. However it was about Lewis Warrington which was the cause of desire.

American Black Film Festival - Wikipedia

Founding: "Because Hollywouldn't"Edit

The first Acapulco Black Film Festival was held in June 1997.[2] The aim of its founders, Jeff Friday, Byron E. Lewis and Warrington Hudlin, was to create a venue at which members of "Black Hollywood" could meet, network, collaborate, and celebrate black cinema. In an interview, Friday said that one of the main motivations for the festival was that "[a]ll minorities are shut down from the private party we call Hollywood. We are let in one at a time, and the masses don't get the information, or don't have access to the decision making, or are not in a position to green-light a project. What we have plan[ned] is more of the same, which is more information, more network opportunities, and to further our mission to provide minorities and people of color with a fair shot at breaking into the Hollywood system."[3]

Lewis, CEO of UniWorld Group, and Friday, then-president of UniWorld’s film division, met with Hudlin, then-president of the Black Filmmakers Foundation, to speak about the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s call to boycott the Oscars as a result of the lack of Black nominees that year.[4] The Oscars had historically had a reputation for leaving out Black members of cinema; until 1980, only two African-Americans had won academy awards for acting.[5] The founders of the ABFF decided, though, that rather than investing time and energy in supporting a boycott, they would hold an event of their own to celebrate black cinematic achievements, and thus the festival was born.

Acapulco Black Film Festival: 1997-2001Edit

In its first years, the festival was held in Acapulco, Mexico. The first festival had a turnout of about 600.[6] Over five days, nine independent films were screened and seven awards were given.[7]

In 1998, HBO established the HBO Short Film Award to be presented at the ABFF to honor works in the genre of short film.[8] HBO thus became a major partner and supporter of the ABFF, along with UniWorld and the Black Filmmakers Foundation. 1999 saw the festival’s first Trailblazer award for significant contributions to Black screen media.[9] This award would remain a consistent part of the festival until 2002. In 2000, the Lincoln Filmmaker’s Trophy was established. This award was one of only two honors, along with the HBO Short Film Award, that would survive the festival’s move to Florida in 2002.

Early hosts and presenters included Robert Townsend (1997), Denzel Washington (1998), Isaac Hayes (1999 and 2000), and Mari Morrow and Kim Whitley who co-hosted the event in 2001.

Aside from awards, the festival in its early incarnations had seminars, actors’ training workshops and meet-and-greets, all with the aim of strengthening the skills and networks of black filmmakers, actors and actresses, and screenwriters.

Changes from 2002-PresentEdit

The year 2002 saw many changes for the film festival. Jeff Friday took over execution of the festival, which he renamed the American Black Film Festival (also abbreviated as ABFF). The festival was moved to South Beach, Florida.

Since its transformation in 2002, the ABFF has drawn new corporate sponsors (including Grey Goose, Ford, NBC, CBS, and Nickelodeon) and a dramatically increased attendance.[3]

The first Black Movie Awards to be televised were in 2005, with a ceremony hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, which was aired on Turner Network Television;[10] the 2006 ceremony was hosted by Tyler Perry.[11]

The Festival stayed in Florida until 2007 when it was moved to Los Angeles, California, in an effort to attract more celebrity attendees and thereby generating more general interest in the festival. While initially successful, the change in venue ultimately resulted in a decline in attendance from members of the actual Black filmmaking community. The festival changed venues once more in 2010, returning to Florida.[3]

ABFF sponsors include Warner Bros. Discovery and HBO® (Founding); Andscape, Ally, Comcast NBCUniversal, Walmart, Cadillac (Presenting); City of Miami Beach, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), UPS, TV One Networks, Netflix, Meta, Prime Video (Major); American Airlines, IMDb, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Variety, YouTube Black Voices, Prudential Financial, ALLBLK, Bounce TV, OWN, Warner Bros. Television (Official); A&E Network, BET Media Group, Motion Picture Association (MPA), Confluential Films, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Fulton Films GA, ESPN Films, Lionsgate (Supporting).

This is the most godawful listing of sponsors I've ever seen, to be support for an 'independent' Black film festival. These are some of the very same entities that block Black films and actors in Mainstream Hollywood. Only a handful of the people from ABFF will get a chance and I just have to wonder what they're asked to give up, in return.

Lewis Carroll Biography

Best known by his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, the author and mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodson (1832–1898), was born at Daresbury, near Warrington, in England on the 27th of January 1832. He was the eldest son of Charles Dodgson, incumbent of Daresbury, afterwards archdeacon of Richmond and one of the canons of Ripon Cathedral, and of his wife and first cousin, Frances Jane Lutwidge. Lewis…

Discreet Virginian Aristocratic

Took a risk covering Lewis Warrington’s face but I guess that’s how he’d want it. There’s an amusing letter written by a lady named Sally Kennon which I quote as follows….

“I received a letter from George a few days ago who now resides in Richmond. He says that the exquisite Lewis Warrington was in town, oh there I wish I was also; apropos of him, last night I tried my fortune in which I importuned my invisible guardian to show me the man whose rib I was to become, exactly in the dress he was to wear on the day we were to be married, and upon my word I positively saw the beforementioned divinity dressed in the most elegant suit of new uniforms; and I am positively convinced that I shall one day be Mrs. Warrington.”

-“Preble’s Boys” Fletcher Pratt

Unfortunately that didn’t happen but I felt that sister. Warrington is a contender for the sexy man poll of War of 1812 for that.

Born as the illegitimate son of an American woman Rachel Warrington and French nobleman Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Vimeur, vicomte de Rochambeau, young Lewis for the majority of his youth was cared for by his widowed great aunt who was well off. His mother married poorly let’s just say and he never took his stepfather’s name.

Extensive research is involved about Warrington because there’s not a lot out there about him; most information is mostly from writings such as letters made by other people mentioning Lewis Warrington. i.e above.

I did make a post about this lesser known commodore a while back. Long story short, Lewis Warrington must have been noncontroversal and desirable to work with to be frequently requested by superior officers. After the War of 1812, he was sent to replace the Fiery David Porter in the West Indies because as far as tact goes, the Virginian seemed better suited to the task.

Small introduction post should he show up in comics in the future.

Maybe if I had the courage to draw again, I’d probably do that Jefferson draped over a harpsichord with a wine glass in hand. It’s been haunting me ever since I mentioned it.

It’s a tie between that and my reverse harem of 1812 commodores. I’m married to them as much as they’re married to honor and the sea.

The Mad Hatter's Tea Party in Warrington, England Charles Dodson, more famously known as Lewis Carroll, spent the first decade of his life in Daresbury, a village close to Warrington.  In honor of Carroll, creator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the town commissioned artist Edwin Russell to recreate one of fiction's most famous and fantastic feasts. 'The Mad Hatters Tea Party' is frozen in granite, with Alice looking curiously upon the top-hatted Hatter, sleepy Dormouse, and the manic March Hare. Unveiled in 1984, the scene invites passersby themselves to take a seat at the frenetic festivities and celebrate their unbirthday alongside some of literature's most iconic, and kooky, characters. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mad-hatters-tea-party

So was I supposed to know that the Comte de Rochambeau’s son or nephew fathered an illegitimate child (that would also go on to have a successful naval career) with an American women they were lodging with after the Battle of Yorktown, or was I just supposed to randomly come across that on Wikipedia?
