Alice Barker was a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the the 1930s and 40s. There were multiple popular clubs such as The Apollo, Cotton Club, and Zanzibar Club during the Harlem Renaissance. These clubs played with legends including Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Although she danced in numerous movies, commercials and TV shows, she had never seen any of them, and all of her photographs and memorabilia had been lost over the years.
Now 102 years old, Baker has been able to view herself on film for the first time.

Just the smile alone and the memories of her reliving the past is simply amazing.
