I left for Paris in 1925, when I was 19. When I saw the Statue of Liberty recede in the distance, I felt, for the first time in my life, free.

I came back to America in 1936 to star in the Ziegfield Follies at the Winter Garden Theater. I was the No. 2, the No. 1 was Fanny Brice. Fanny and I wouldn’t hit it off too well. She didn’t seem to care much for my speaking French. She would say, “Josephine, speak English.”

Pepito was my third husband, ...or perhaps he wasn’t. He and I sailed from Paris to New York on the Normandie, the fastest, most luxurious ship in the world. We landed and went straightaway to Central Park South and the most exclusive hotel in the city. I was born in a slum, and now I was returning to my homeland, an empress.

Already, East St. Louis was aflame. We made it to the Eads Bridge and safety in the city, my family and two tiny puppies that I saved. But when I close my eyes, I can still see it - the homes of my neighbors burned to the ground. A man being beaten by a crowd with clubs. The only way I could tell he was Black was by his hands. All the rest of him was covered in blood. Before the group moved on, they gouged out his eyes.

Do you think it was easy? To build the career I had - from that? Do you think it was fun to carry 30-pound headpieces down all those grand staircases? The endless rehearsals and the pointless interviews, a hundred farewell appearances, a hundred comebacks. Do you think I enjoyed putting that burnt cork on my hands and face? Or that I liked singing J’ai Deux Amours every night, over and over again, like a damned idiot?
