New signage honors Josephine Baker in Paris

Place Josephine Baker is a stop on a couple of Entrée to Black Paris' "off-the-beaten-tourist-track" walking tours in the 14th arrondissement, and I was pleased to take two scholars there the other day. To my surprise, I found that two sides of the three-sided street sign that designates the "place" have recently been strikingly altered.

Congratulations to Michelle Charters, Head of International Slavery Museum, whose services to our local community have been recognised with an OBE in the 2024 King’s Birthday Honours list

Michelle said: “I accepted this as a recognition of the collective efforts of my community and the many individuals who have supported me along the way. As a Black person, this honour holds significant meaning, reflecting the progress we are making towards greater equity and representation, especially in my current role as Head of International Slavery Museum at National Museums Liverpool.

“I acknowledge the historical significance of being a Black recipient of the OBE and its part of a broader narrative of inclusion, which will empower me and my community in providing an enhanced platform to amplify our voice, extend our reach, and achieve even more. It will also inspire others from the community and show young Black people in particular that success is attainable.”

A Liverpool-born community activist, Michelle is leading the museum through a £58m redevelopment project (which also includes Maritime Museum), that aims to make the venue a global leader in understanding and exploring the impact and legacies of historic and modern slavery.
