Join historian Gemma Romain to find out why performance artist Josephine Baker made a flying visit to Croydon Airport in 1928 through the exploration of virtually unknown photographs from Croydon Airport Society’s archives. Explore the cultural world of 1920s & 30s London and the often ignored integral part Black artists, musicians and activists played in creating this vibrant world.
