Josephine Baker chats in a jazz club, inbetween rehearsals. She talks about her family of eleven children, and the racism in St. Louis, USA where she grew up. Then she sang 'Sonny Boy', link below. A poor English auto-translation from about 2:20 is below; incomplete due to Youtube text limits. • 'Sonny Boy': • Josephine Baker 'Sonny Boy' live 1962 • Auto-transcription to English: • ... I had to content myself with doing what I could. And now I have 11 children, of course. I am also fortunate to have chosen in the lowest secrecy of mom. You have to take what was presented and I have in this way, I was lucky to have very beautiful children. • [00: 02: 48.870] - • It is true that all the time, although it is not the best wishes, of course. But you see, when I was very young, I lived and I was born in St. Louis, in Saint Louis. At that point, there is a lot of progress now. But at that time, I'm talking about 55 years ago and well there was a big problem, a problem of racism. Let's tell it like it is. • [00: 03: 23.130] - • I believe this problem still exists. • [00: 03: 24.540] - • Yes, yes, but. And thanks to young people like you, I mean not all young people. Because if all the young people were rid of, we say, it is this value of hatred between peoples. There will be no existing schools today that no longer want to speak for themselves. Dating with brothers, gunshots. More and like me, latte. Well when I was, right? When I lived in Saint-Louis as a very young girl, I lived among my family, people of color, because there were nourished neighborhoods. • [00: 04: 11.280] - • There are always neighborhoods. It made it possible to do that. And these neighborhoods with cultures, all the same. I was not allowed to, for example, as we are today. It would be against the law to agree to sit with you. Likewise, you is to violate, violate the way. You have to agree to be seated at a table with a woman of color and pick up the phone. When I saw everything, all my very young age, that there were necklines going to school, not speaking since we were going to a colored school reserved for people of color, I mean . • [00: 04: 53.700] - • And no possibility to hang out, to play with all of them. That children who weren't my chocolate. Now, I understood that there was something wrong with the world. There was something that was not normal because it was not normal that we were taught that there are fruits. You could smell the men because of the colored water of fire. This is all wrong. But these are people who have had an education, who were born French. • [00: 05: 24.760] - • An education that was false puts her at the top of the rankings for humanity, all of civilization, its civilization. So what? I support. Already, I started to feel the pain of being effluents from others. The pain of not being able to live with what I would have liked, my little ones, the children of my neighboring neighbors, far in another neighborhood. But I still have to understand, my God, if we did anything to a thousand things in life, she's shopping in another shopping district. • [00: 05: 55.450] - • We had to meet the places in white. We could see that there were places, other colors and I learned through pain and solutions that I was different from others. And life has passed. I started to travel. I wanted to know Europe which had wanted to know Europe because I knew that here, that did not exist. • [00: 06: 19.030] - • Racial prejudice has not developed as well. • [00: 06: 21.110] - • It is valid and so I wanted to know. I was fortunate enough to become adopted immediately by your grandparents because of course your because you are several young people who were listening, certainly. So what? I learned to my great joy that I was finally like another. There was no difference that I was judged exactly for my own worth and not because I was black. I understand very well. From there is developed this desire to enlarge, this good, this good, to feel felt, a human being like all human beings. • [00: 07: 02.110] - • And I wondered how to do it. I saw on the right and on the left that there was a lot of difficulty in getting along. There were a lot of conflicts between the arms of different countries and so I said to myself I will adopt children since I do not myself have children from both continents with different religions and beliefs to prove that man, despite its color, its color, the local content, whether it comes from or even the religion which practiced the parent, there is a way to get along and we can live together if we want, without understanding. • [00: 07: 43.180] - • We apologize for interrupting your rehearsal for a few moments. I see your musicians are waiting for you. Thank you. • #JosephineBaker #JosephineBakerInterview #JosephineBakerPantheon @Gazely Gaze
