Josephine Baker's Dance

A short part of a film where Josephine Baker presents her "Danse Sauvage" in her "Revue Nègre". She is dancing with Joe Alex. I'm sorry it's not a long film.

Josephine Baker Is Black , Stop With The Fuckery About Black People , She was black

[Menelik Charles]

Whoo, you all just don't want black people to have credit for shit do you. Well...somebody thought Josephine was black with an African jungle scene here. Africa has only one country with jungles, and that's the Congo in central Africa, the rest of Africa is desert, savanna, and coastal, and arid. I see the racist ignorance still plays itself today. Somebody thought she was black which is why she segregated aginst and made to enter through kitchens. This girl is from east St. Louis. She was black

[Bridgette Milhouse]

my daughter is doing a research paper on her

Persephone I researched Josephine Baker for two years and wrote and staged a play on her life. You can see clips on here. It's "The Black Orchid" presented by the Urban Spectrum Theatre Company.

What is the name of the film this is from? I'm doing a research paper on her performance and I need a primary source for her "Banana Dance".

I love this women she brought so many things to many many people around her and beyond. She saved lots of lives during WW2 and still brings joy to people...She certainly wouldn't appreciate seeing people stupidly arguing on her videos, get over yourselves

[Viejita Arrugadita]

Wow, I hope you were smart enough to realize you are pathetic. Being from a country where there never was a black-and-white conflict, your comments about the race of a dancer look medieval. And sadly I have noticed ( taking on account these comments) that black people are the ones who are the most racist, trying to account someone's accomplishments to a certain race. Get over it please. No one's attacking you. Great dancer! Beautiful woman. That's that. The end.

Why are people upset that she was black o_O

[colegiomayor1397]

Conque de ahí viene....

[neptunedarling]

Well, this is racial stereotyping and racist, too. I know Josephine Baker was black and I'm white and I'm not trying to "claim" her. I would never tell anyone what race they are.
