Why is Josephine Baker the embodiment of freedom of mind?

Coming from a very poor background in the midst of racial segregation in the United States, nothing predestined Josephine Baker to become a beloved star. Carried by a crazy energy, she left America for France at 20 years old. Her inimitable style revolutionizes dance and frees the female body. Without ever stopping to dance, she fights to have the civil rights of blacks recognized in the United States and she adopts 12 children to fulfill her absolute dream: a world without distinction.
