Songstress Eartha Kitt enthralled audiences beginning in the 1940s up until just months before her death in 2008.
She’s known for the sultry Christmas classic from 1953 “Santa Baby.” But Kitt was much more than her sex-kitten image. She supported Martin Luther King Jr., and advocated for women's rights and the LGBTQ community. And though the world viewed her as Black, she refused to be defined by the color of her skin.
