Designates June 3rd as Josephine Baker Day in Missouri

HCR 36 designates June 3 as "Josephine Baker Day" in Missouri to honor the legacy of Josephine Baker, a St. Louis-born performer, human rights activist, and World War II resistance figure. The resolution celebrates her contributions to the arts, civil rights, and democracy, as noted in the legislative text. This is a commemorative resolution, not a policy bill, and would require Governor approval under Missouri law. It directly affects Missouri residents through official recognition of Baker's historical significance.
