Lerner, Eugene M.

African American Paris stage performer noted for her comic, yet sensual, dance routines. While she took Europe by storm, racism in her native United States prevented her from being wholly accepted until 1973, just two years before her death. The material was collected by Gene Lerner.

From the description of Eugene Lerner collection of Josephine Baker materials, 1926-2001. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 122540842
