Josephine Baker: Who was this iconic Parisienne?
J is for Josephine Baker. Who was she? What was it that made her so iconic? And how can you follow her footsteps in Paris?
Today on the show it's Brian Scott Bagley, the founder of the Musée Joséphine Baker et des Afro-Descendants de Paris. Brian comes from a career in the performing arts, and is now a cultural historian working to promote the legacy of Josephine Baker.
