Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906 - April 12, 1975) was an American-born dancer, singer, and actress. Nicknamed the Bronze Venus, the Black Pearl , and even the Creole Goddess in anglophone nations, in France, Josephine has always been known simply as La Baker. Baker was the first African American to star in a major motion picture, to integrate an American concert hall, and to become a world-famous entertainer. She is also noted for her contributions to the Civil Rights Movement in the United States (she was offered the unofficial leadership of the movement by Coretta Scott King in 1968 following Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, but turned it down), for assisting the French Resistance during World War II and for being the first American-born woman to receive the French military honor, the Croix de guerre.
