The Many Faces of Josephine Baker

Josephine Baker used her fame as an entertainer to defy racism and unequality in America.  She is outstanding because even when she is turned away, she still returns to the States to perform when she had a chance to change audiences to non segregated for her shows.   She is adequately referred to as a "A woman of steel."   I love that she never gave up trying and the Rainbow Tribe is such a great demonstration of her passion.  It is interesting how other entertainers continue in that trend such as Angelina Jolie and her adopted children.   Josephine Baker remains one of the first black woman who broke many barriers even if she had to give up her home to do it all the while remaining classy, feminine and true.  She is a decorated military offer, an international entertainer, and one of the first black women to perform in movies, one of the highest paid and most photographed woman in the world. Most Outstanding Woman.  She makes me proud to be a woman.
