Meeting Joséphine BAKER - Reading by Colette Allègre
"From the limelight to the flame of resistance" Singer, dancer, revue leader, she loved France – her heartland – committed to the Resistance and ended the war with the rank of lieutenant in the French Army. In 1946, she was awarded the French Liberation Medal against racism. She continued her fight against racism by supporting the American Civil Rights Movement alongside Martin Luther King. She was part of every fight. A lover of France, her second homeland, she received the honor of being the 6th woman to enter the Panthéon, and the 5th to be honored there. A street in the new district of Montigny-lès-Metz is named after her.
