During her second miscarriage, medical challenges, and emergency surgeries, Josephine Baker remembered her purpose, to entertain, and her reason for living, to love.

“If I’d observed all the rules I’d never have gone anywhere” Marilyn Monroe once famously said. Over the course of the legacy unit we have learned about various figures that have left behind their own legacies, good or bad.
