This evening honors the brilliance, daring, public courage, and private tragedies of Josephine Baker. The black icon created a singing, dancing, declaration of independence with her body. She blazed a trail of irresistible challenge and charm in France in the same years that Simone Weil pursued her feminist vigil on behalf of a larger humanity. Fearless civil rights fighter. Spy. Visionary. Mother.
