Shownotes Transcript

Josephine Baker ist 19, als sie wegen der strikten Rassentrennung in den USA nach Paris flieht. Sie tanzt, kämpft im Widerstand, fordert Gleichheit und wird zur Ikone. Die Lange Nacht erinnert an ihr Wirken und ihre Stimme, die bis heute nachhallt. Hempel, Berit www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Lange Nacht
