Remembering Josephine Baker

Written on .

Today on the anniversary of her birth, we celebrate the life and legacy of Rainbow Honor Walk honoree Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 – April 12, 1975). 

A groundbreaking performer, French Resistance agent, and civil rights activist, Baker dazzled the world from Paris stages while using her fame to fight fascism, racism, and segregation. Openly bisexual, she remains an enduring symbol of artistry, courage, glamour, and liberation.
