Join us in celebrating the indelible legacy of Josephine Baker, a global icon and the first Black American international superstar, who made history as a World War 2 spy for the French resistance, civil rights activist, and a champion of social justice and integration.

Why Honor Josephine Baker?

Two years ago, the French President bestowed France's highest honor, inducting Josephine Baker in the prestigious Panthéon mausoleum in Paris, reserved for outstanding historical figures. As we commemorate the 2nd anniversary of this historic achievement, we invite you to be a part of honoring Josephine's remarkable contributions. We're launching an online giving fundraiser campaign to raise funds for the Josephine Baker International Committee. Our goal is to purchase a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of her unparalleled impact on the world of entertainment and culture. Additionally, your contributions will support her institute La Maison Josephine Centers, ensuring that her legacy continues to inspire and support generations of artists, in spite of race, religion or gender identity.

Save the dates

As we approach the end of the year, let's unite in celebrating the indomitable spirit of Josephine Baker. Together, let's ensure her legacy is immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Your support will illuminate her remarkable journey and ensure her brilliance shines for generations to come. Join us in preserving the legacy of this extraordinary woman whose impact transcends time. Your contribution makes all the difference in honoring Josephine Baker's enduring legacy.

Donating before the end of the year is crucial because it allows you to maximize the tax benefits associated with charitable giving, potentially lowering your taxable income. It's also a chance to make a tangible impact and support causes that matter to you while wrapping up the year on a philanthropic note.
