D'origine métissée afro-américaine et amérindienne des Appalaches, elle est souvent considérée comme la première célébrité noire. Elle prend la nationalité française en 1937 et, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, joue un rôle important dans la résistance à l'occupant. Elle utilisera ensuite sa grande popularité dans la lutte contre le racisme, et pour l'émancipation des Noirs, en particulier en soutenant le Mouvement des droits civiques de Martin Luther King.
Bien qu'initialement, Joséphine Baker ait été perçue comme une sensation exotique, une charmante afro-américaine au déhanchement incroyable, elle a su se forger une solide réputation dans les hautes sphères de la société parisienne, pour qui elle en vint à incarner le personnage d'une Vénus d'Ébène. Elle a su intelligemment se servir de cette image et la manipuler à sa guise, façonnant elle-même son personnage public synonyme d'émancipation, symbolisant toute forme de liberté (du "Swing" jusqu'aux Droits Civiques, en passant par la lutte contre le fascisme), et ne définissant sa destinée qu'à sa façon.
JOSÉPHINE BAKER a adopté 12 ENFANTS DE TOUTES LES RACES ET DE DIFFÉRENTES CONFESSIONS RELIGIEUSES AFIN DE MONTRER AU MONDE ENTIER QUE LA FRATERNITÉ UNIVERSELLE POUVAIT AMENER LA PAIX MONDIALE.
