(ENTERTAINMENT.) Carl Van Vechten, photographer. Josephine Baker attending the "Josephine Baker Day" NAACP luncheon in her honor. New York, 20 May 1951 Silver print photograph, 9½ x 6¾ inches, with photographer's embossed stamp and manuscript caption on verso; minimal wear.  After 1924, Josephine Baker spent most of her time in France, but she was certainly not forgotten in her native country. This photograph shows an NAACP-sponsored luncheon to celebrate just her third return to the states in 27 years, part of a "Josephine Baker Day" which also included a 27-car motorcade and reviewing stand. Here she is seen with her French husband Jo Bouillon. The caption reads "Josephine Baker day / The lunch at the Sky Room of the Hotel Theresa. Miss Baker with her husband, Joe Bouillon."
