Actor and scholar Becky Stone will portray Josephine Baker in a series of shows during Black History Month. This living history portrayal transports audiences to the early 1900s, a time when all women, and particularly women of color, struggled to find their place in a more modern America.
Despite these hardships, Josephine Baker emerged as a comedian, a dancer and eventually the first black woman to star in a major motion picture, in 1927. Still, she struggled to be truly accepted as equal in the United States, an experience that pushed her to dedicate the later part of her life to combating racism in America. The show includes a Q & A with the character, Josephine Baker, and then with Becky Stone, the scholar/actor.
