Two of the papers I remember the most are MLK Jr. and Josephine Baker. Josephine Baker opened my eyes‚ she showed me that a spy had to be brave and willing to risk everything. Not only was Josephine an example for me she was an inspiration and an idol for so many African-Americans. She is a heroine in heart‚ mind‚ and body.
