Your Morning Baker
For Monday, September 30th, 2024
Week 80 of our regular morning feature here at Friedman of the Plains Worldwide in which we highlight the great words and works of great men and women, as well as those who are insufferable, delusional, and even fictional.
This Week Josephine Baker

It should have made everyone mad. And it still should, because there are those who would take us right back to that era, with glee. Bah.
Americans who think that they are always first, biggest, and best should have their noses rubbed in how badly the US treated a woman of exceptional talent. And, at Trump rallies, still do.
