520    Josephine Baker (1906--1975) was nineteen years old when 
       she found herself in Paris for the first time in 1925. 
       Overnight, the young American dancer became the idol of 
       the Roaring Twenties, captivating Picasso, Cocteau, Le 
       Corbusier, and Simenon. In the liberating atmosphere of 
       the 1930s, Baker rose to fame as the first black star on 
       the world stage, from London to Vienna, Alexandria to 
       Buenos Aires. After World War II, and her time in the 
       French Resistance, Baker devoted herself to the struggle 
       against racial segregation, publicly battling the 
       humiliations she had for so long suffered personally. She 
       led by example, and over the course of the 1950s adopted 
       twelve orphans of different ethnic backgrounds: a 
       veritable Rainbow Tribe. A victim of racism throughout her
       life, Josephine Baker would sing of love and liberty until
       the day she died.
