JOSEPHINE BAKER: She always stood up bravely against the forces of discrimination; she became the first black woman to star in a major motion picture; during WWII she became a French Resistance spy; and she fought against segregation and racism as part of the Civil Rights Movement.
“I did take the blows, but I took them with my chin up, in dignity, because I so profoundly love and respect humanity." ~Josephine Baker
