Let's start with one of my favorites from history, Josephine Baker.

Synopsis

Born Freda Josephine McDonald on June 3, 1906, in St. Louis, Missouri, Josephine Baker spent her youth in poverty before learning to dance and finding success on Broadway. In the 1920s she moved to France and soon became one of Europe's most popular and highest-paid performers. She worked for the French Resistance during World War II, and during the 1950s and '60s devoted herself to fighting segregation and racism in the United States. After beginning her comeback to the stage in 1973, Josephine Baker died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1975, and was buried with military honors.

"He was my cream and I was his coffee. And when you poured us together, it was something."
-Josephine Baker
I love your post Old Gent. Josephine Baker is such an iconic inspiration. And while she was an enigmatic entertainer, her service both in the effort to resist the Axis Powers during World War II as well her commitment to advancing Civil Rights in the States are also aspects of her legacy worth commemorating.

Early life[edit]
Payne was born in Slab Fork, West Virginia to a coal miner. Her father was Black and her mother Cherokee. It's stated that her father was so insecure about being with such a beautiful woman, that he elected to "beat the pretty out of her". Her desire to help her mother escape was a part of her initial lifestyle change. [2]

Crimes[edit]
Payne's career as an international jewel thief spans six decades, with a criminal record dating back to 1952. Her modus operandi is to enter jewelry stores posing as a well-to-do woman, typically looking for a diamond ring. Using her charm, she would engage the clerk, asking to see an assortment of items. Eventually, she would "cause the clerk to forget" just how many items were outside the case; and, at some point, she would leave with one or two pieces.

Her crimes have spanned five decades. She has been arrested many times; she is a career criminal.[3][4]

Payne is most noted for stealing a 10-carat diamond ring, valued at $500,000 (US), from Monte Carlo in the 1970s. She fled to France, but was detained in Nice and later extradited back to Monte Carlo, where she was held for nine months before being released, as the Monégasque authorities were unable to locate the stolen gem.[5]

Payne was arrested in Ohio in the 1980s after she escaped from federal custody during a hospital visit.[6]

On Friday, January 22, 2010, Payne was arrested in Costa Mesa, California for removing the tags from a $1,300 Burberry trench coat from a Saks Fifth Avenue store and subsequently leaving the store with the coat.[7] In January 2011, at the age of 80, Doris was sentenced in a San Diego court to 16 months in prison for stealing a 1 carat diamond ring.

On October 29, 2013, Payne, age 83, was arrested on felony larceny charges for stealing a $22,500 diamond-encrusted ring in Palm Desert, California.[8][3][9] Payne pled guilty. On April 30, 2014, she was sentenced to two years in prison, followed by two years on parole, and was ordered to stay away from jewelry stores.[10] However, she was released three months later due to prison overcrowding. In July 2015 she was reportedly stealing again and was believed to have stolen a $33,000 (US) ring, although this has not been proven yet.[11] On October 23, 2015 she was caught on security cameras putting Christian Dior earrings valued at $690.00 in her pocket at an Atlanta, Georgia Saks Fifth Avenue store. She was arrested and charged with shoplifting by Officers from the Atlanta Police Department. [12]

Payne has openly spoken about her crimes and has used at least 20 aliases, at least ten social security numbers and at least nine dates of birth.[13]

It is alleged in Charlotte, North Carolina, that on July 11, 2015, Payne visited a jewelry store at SouthPark Mall. After she left, store employees realized a diamond ring valued at $33,000 was missing from a showcase. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not issue an official statement or APB, but local ABC affiliate WSOC-TV obtained a copy of an email sent to all area jewelers regarding the alleged crime and alerting them to be on the lookout. An arrest warrant was issued for Payne in August 2015, by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg sheriff's department.[14]

In Atlanta, Georgia, on December 13, 2016 she was again arrested on larceny charges.[15]

Documentary[edit]
There is a documentary film about her life, entitled The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne, in which Payne describes in detail many of her crimes, from the earliest thefts in her youth, up to her arrest in 2011, at age 80, for stealing a diamond ring from a Macy's department store. The trial for this crime is chronicled in the documentary, and her last interview in the film takes place in prison, as she was convicted of the crime. However, updates during the credits inform the audience that she had since been released, only to commit, and be convicted of, another jewelry theft soon after at age 83.[6][16][17]

I say we celebrate by allowing all black clients to get a discounted reparations discount session?

The McRib also typically goes on sale next month too. Coincidence or conspiracy? Choose your sauce?

I enjoy black women. Hard to recreate that rhythm, and intensity in the bedroom.

I was required to read this amazing book when I was a younger and more studious lass. I've read it a couple of times since too, despite the fact that no one was telling me that I needed to. If you have never had the pleasure of consuming this incredible work or are not familiar with it's amazing creator, please click on the above link. You will not be sorry.

I think having Seeking ~P post a picture or 12 of any or all of her beautiful zones would be a great way to celebrate Black History Month.

P.S. I eat peanut butter almost everyday, and can't imagine life without it. Just sayin.

I love you ~P!
