Une BD biographie sur le même modèle que celle sur Alice Guy lue dernièrement. Toujours aussi sympa même si j'ai un peu moins accroché à celle-ci, sans doute parce que je connaissais déjà pas mal de choses sur Joséphine Baker (mais quel personnage quand même !)

i'll leave you with more of josephine's exponential wisdom:

‘surely the day will come when colour means nothing more than the skin tone; when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice & all men are born free - when understanding breeds love & brotherhood.’

josephine, in great debt, let go of the chateau in 1968 &
relocated to a flat in monaco that was offered her by grace kelly.
she died four days after a magnificent comeback
revue at the bobino in paris.
last year, this dynamo became the first american & the first black woman to be reburied at the .

known for her (in)famous ‘banana dance’ (which has been said to represent ‘phalluses stimulated by female agency’), jo baker crammed a lot of living into her 68 years on planet earth. apart from the espionage & civil rights campaigning, she adopted 12 children from varied
backgrounds & ethnicities. her ‘rainbow tribe’ lived at chateau des milandes in the dordogne & its farm, hotels & amusements were open to the public so that people could see how well this diverse group got on.

she didn’t spend much time in the country of her birth. already a
veteran performer by the age of 19, she travelled to paris for ‘la revue negre’ - & she spent the rest of her life in france. of her adopted country, she said, ‘in that county, i never feared. it was like a fairyland place.’ these words were heard by over 200,000 people at 1963’s March on Washington, at which josephine was the only offical female speaker.

(deep brain breathing...here goes)
‘not everyone has the same colour, the same language, or the same customs, but they have the same heart, the same blood & the same need for love.’
fascinatingly complex, turbulent,
magnificently imperfect civil rights warrior & french resistance spy who dabbled in song & dance in her spare time...it’s only josephine bloody baker, born in 1906 in st. louis.

: josephine baker was born on 3rd june in 1906, but i've only just had the time to commemorate her through art - & i suppose that's okay because any day is a fine time to honour such a phenomenal human being.
there follows a gigathread about the legend, la baker, should you wish to read it.
