On this day in 1975, Singer, dancer and activist Josephine Baker passed away. Did you know she was also a spy in World War 2 for the French Air Force!
She found fame and freedom after fleeing racism in America and led a double life informing on the Nazis.

We knew the librarian Mary Pollard had a printing press in Marsh's Library in the 1970s on which she printed poetry and other single-sheet items. We DIDN'T know until just now that she printed early Seamus Heaney poems and he signed them.....
