Comment
By decision of the President of the Republic, Josephine Baker will be honored at the Panthéon on November 30.Through this destiny, France distinguishes an exceptional personality, born American, who chose, in the name of her lifelong fight for freedom and emancipation, the eternal France of universal Enlightenment.
A world-renowned music-hall artist, a member of the French Resistance and a tireless anti-racist campaigner, she was involved in all the battles that bring together citizens of good will, in France and around the world.
For all these reasons, and because she was the embodiment of the French spirit, Josephine Baker, who died in 1975, deserves our nation's recognition today.
