Monday, July 23, 1900. Various forbidden acts.

King Alexander of Serbia announced that he would marry his mistress, Draga Mašin. She had been one his mother's servants.


The cabinet resigned, including his father.  He persevered and married her anyway, although they were both assassinated in 1903.

The First Pan-African Conference took place in London.  W. E. B. DuBois and Henry Sylvester Williams were among those in attendance.

Self educated African American civil rights activist Robert Charles shot and wounded one of three members of the New Orleans Police Department who approached him while he was sitting with his roommate in a predominantly white neighborhood.   Riots ensued.
