50 years ago Freda Josephine Baker (née McDonald) died in #Paris #france

She was an #artist, #singer, #dancer, #actress, and a #fighter for #freedom

During #WW2 she fought against #facism as part of the #resistance and always fought against #racism

She was an #independent #woman that resisted inequality of her time

Her life was not easy, she did not inherit fortunes she could build on

She did it herself

Let's borrow some of her courage & build a society she'd liked

#OTD, 50 years ago, the world lost the fabulous, audacious and smart #JosephineBaker.

Instead of some sexy banana dance picture, here she is doing some gardening in her Paris home.

Edit: Error correction (I believed the paper newspaper from today, but just learned better on the internet) - she did not die on the 8th of April, but on the 12th.

Josephine Baker: the superstar turned spy who fought the Nazis and for civil rights.

"Although precisely what was in the notes that she carried – often pinned to her bra – was, in many cases, officially unrecorded and remains unknown, Diamond’s research suggests that on several occasions it proved hugely valuable, and was sometimes critical."
