Josephine Baker was the first global superstar and fashion icon, who was also a civil rights activist, and for her work with the french resistance was awarded the Croix De Guerre, Rosetta de la resistance and Legion D Honneur. Madonna toys with sexual ambiguity, Josephine was sexual ambiguity, and decades before Brad & Angelina adopted half of Africas children, Josephine adopted her rainbow children from different countries. There has been no superstar since to match Bakers achievements

beyonce admires her, that's why she's inspired in this woman. I think it's something amazing to learn from people who is so talented.

Some black entertainers of the 30’s & 40’s like Paul Robson and Josephine Baker left racist America to live in France.

African Americans have fought in every one of Amerika’s wars, only to return home to the same prejudice, racism and double-standard they left. LIFE Magazine on March 16th, 1942 pages 40 & 41 displayed this racism and hatred to the world. Defense workers fought members of their own unions on the issue of who was to occupy a new Federal housing project called Sojourner Truth.
