Black History Month: Josephine Baker

Josephine Baker is known best for her career as a dancer, singer and actress.  In 1925, she emigrated from the USA and took Paris by storm with her comic, energetic and provocative dancing (watch it here!) - sometimes wearing nothing but a single ostrich feather on stage.

But there’s also another side to Josephine - during WWII, she was a spy for the French resistance, sneaking important information out of the country written on her sheet music in invisible ink, or pinned to her underwear.

She was also a life-member of the NAACP, travelling around the USA to campaign for civil rights, and speaking at the 1963 March on Washington.

Josephine was bisexual, having four husbands (or five, depending on how you’re counting) and many female lovers. She continued to perform up until her death in 1975.
