Overnight, the young American dancer became the idol of the Roaring Twenties, captivating Picasso, Cocteau, Le Corbusier, and Simenon. In the liberating atmosphere of the 1930s, Baker rose to fame as the first black star on the world stage, from London to Vienna, Alexandria to Buenos Aires. After World War II, and her time in the French Resistance, Baker devoted herself to the struggle against racial segregation, publicly battling the humiliations she had for so long suffered personally. She led by example, and over the course of the 1950s adopted twelve orphans of different ethnic backgrounds: a veritable Rainbow Tribe. A victim of racism throughout her life, Josephine Baker would sing of love and liberty until the day she died. 546 $a Translated from the French. 700 0 $a Catel, $e artist. 700 1 $a Bouillon-Baker, Jean-Claude, $e consultant. 700 1 $a Gauvin, Edward, $e translator. 700 1 $a Gilliom, Mercedes Claire, $e translator. 941 $a 6 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060320.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204090135.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110072027.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006110535.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180110032903.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170901010332.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D86530328A2311E79567A07097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
