This week, we discuss this biopic about Josephine Baker that chronicles the life of the legendary performer. In the 1920s, Baker fled the racist violence she was witnessing in the United States and landed in Paris where she eventually found great success as a dancer and singer. She also utilized her platform to campaign for civil rights equality which led to a tumultuous return in the U.S; then we discuss pop culture surrounding the release of this movie.
