This original specialized program has also gained notoriety by attracting students from universities across the USA including Spelman, Agnes Scott, and George Washington University and Hampton University.  It has brought students to Paris to meet in scholarship with world-renowned artists whp are connected to the intellectual, artistic, and historical Black French experience, such as Nina Simone, Archie Shepp, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Sonia Sanchez and Toni Morrison.

Faraj ben Sālim (Arabic: فرج بن سالم‎ ‎ ), also known as Farragut of Girgenti, Moses Farachi of Dirgent, Ferragius, Farragus, or Franchinus, was a Sicilian-Jewish physician and translator who flourished in the second half of the thirteenth century.  He was engaged by Charles I of Naples as translator of medical works from Arabic into Latin.  In this capacity he rendered a great service to medicine by making in 1279 a Latin translation of al-Razi's medical encyclopedia, "Al-Hawi" (later printed in 1486, under the title "Continens", with a glossary by the translator).  The translation is followed, between the same covers, by "De expositionibus vocabulorum seu synonimorum simplicis medicinæ", which Steinschneider supposes to form a part of the "Continens".  As a token of his esteem for the translator, Charles of Anjou ordered that on the original copy of the manuscript of the "Continens" (MS. "Bibliothèque Nationale", Paris, No. 6912) the portrait of Faraj should be drawn beside his own by friar Giovanni of Monte Cassino, the greatest illuminator of his time. Robert of Ketton, known in Latin as Rodbertus Ketenensis ( 1141–1157), was an English astronomer, translator, priest and diplomat active in Spain.  He translated several works of Arabic into Latin, including the first translation of the Quran into any language.  Between 1144 and 1157 he held an archdeaconry in the diocese of Pamplona.  In the past he has been confounded with Robert of Chester (Latin "Robertus Castrensis"), another English translator active in Spain in the mid-twelfth century; and at least one modern scholar believes they are the same person. Claudine Picardet (born Poullet, later Guyton de Morveau) (7 August 1735 – 4 October 1820) was a chemist, mineralogist, meteorologist and scientific translator.  Among the French chemists of the late eighteenth century she stands out for her extensive translations of scientific literature from Swedish, English, German and Italian to French.  She translated three books and thousands of pages of scientific papers, which were published as well as circulated in manuscript form.  She hosted renowned scientific and literary salons in Dijon and Paris, and was an active participant in the collection of meteorological data.  She helped to establish Dijon and Paris as scientific centers, substantially contributing to the spread of scientific knowledge during a critical period in the chemical revolution. Jean-Nicolas-Gustave Van Nieuwen-Huysen (known as Gustave Vaëz) (6 December 1812 – 12 March 1862) was a Belgian playwright, librettist and translator of opera librettos.  Born in Brussels, he studied law and earned a doctorate at the State University of Leuven.  Since he had no desire to work as a lawyer, he devoted himself to a career as a playwright.  He published a large number of plays.  His first plays were staged from 1829 to 1834 in Brussels, which he left for Paris to work with librettist Alphonse Royer.  Operas where Vaëz was involved as a librettist and translator are "Lucia di Lammermoor" (1839), "La favorite" and "Rita, ou Le mari battu" by Gaetano Donizetti (1840), and "Jérusalem" by Giuseppe Verdi.  He died in Paris on 12 March 1862. Christopher Marlowe, also known as Kit Marlowe (baptised 26 February 156430 May 1593), was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era.  Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day.  He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death.  Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse and their overreaching protagonists. Henry Meschonnic (18 September 1932, Paris – 8 April 2009, Villejuif) was a French poet, linguist, essayist and translator.  He's remembered today as both a theoretician of language and as a translator of the Old Testament.  The 710-page "Critique du rythme," probably remains his most famous theoretical work.  As a translator of the Old Testament he published many volumes, including "Les cinq rouleaux" in 1970 (Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther); "Jona et le signifiant errant" in 1998 (Jonah); "Gloires" in 2000 (Psalms); "Au commencement" in 2002 (Genesis); "Les Noms" in 2003 (Exodus); "Et il a appelé" in 2005 (Leviticus); and "Dans le désert" in 2008 (Numbers). Laurent Tailhade (] ; 16 April 1854 – 2 November 1919) was a French satirical poet, anarchist polemicist, essayist, and translator, active in Paris in the 1890s and early 1900s.  His most well-known poetry collections, "Au Pays du mufle" (1891) and "Imbéciles et gredins" (1900) have retained their insulting wit and verve, which blends the street slang of the outer "faubourgs" (suburbs) of Paris with the rich language of a broad-ranging culture. Michel Deguy (born 1930, Paris) is a French poet and translator.  He taught French literature at the Universite de Paris VII (Saint-Denis) for many years.

As a translator, he has translated Heidegger, Gongora, Sappho, Dante, and many others.
