Description
"Josephine Baker's actions, her fights and her commitments are remarkable in many ways," says Laurent Kupferman, who launched the petition for the musical legend's induction to France's Pantheon mausoleum, which garnered around 38,000 signatures. The French-American dancer, singer and actress, who fought in the French resistance during WWII and later battled racism, will become the first Black woman to be entered in the hallowed Parisian monument.
