Home / Colorado Humanities and CMC present ‘Black History Live: Josephine Baker’ at Spring Valley campus

Actor Becky Stone as Josephine Baker

Colorado Humanities and Colorado Mountain College will present scholar and actor Becky Stone when she portrays Josephine Baker, a 20th century performer and civil rights activist, during a Black History Live performance on Feb. 14 at CMC Spring Valley.

Colorado Humanities and CMC present 'Black History Live: Josephine Baker' at Spring Valley campus

Live portrayal of world-renowned performer, activist scheduled on Feb. 14

Feb. 2, 2023 – Colorado Humanities and Colorado Mountain College Spring Valley at Glenwood Springs will present “Black History Live: Josephine Baker,” a live portrayal of this world-renowned performer, World War II spy and civil rights activist, at CMC Spring Valley on Feb. 14.

February is Black History Month and to celebrate, CMC is welcoming Colorado Humanities’ production of scholar and actor Becky Stone who will portray Baker (1906-1975). Previously, Stone visited the Spring Valley campus during Black History Month where, on behalf of Colorado Humanities, she portrayed Harriet Tubman in 2017 and Maya Angelou in 2019.

Born in Saint Louis, Missouri, Baker became a pivotal 20th century sensation who began her career singing and dancing when she moved to France in the 1920s. She fought back against the Nazi regime in World War II and became a staunch vocal activist against racial injustice.

“Black History Live: Josephine Baker” will take place from 3-4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 14. Following the performance, KDNK Music Director Cody Lee is curating a set of music to be played in the theater from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The set will include recordings of Josephine Baker and of later musicians – both French and African-American – who were influenced by her.

The event will be held on campus at the New Space Theatre, CMC Spring Valley, 3000 County Road 114, Glenwood Springs and is free and open to the public.

For more information, contact Adrian Fielder at CMC Spring Valley, 970-947-8246.
