A Great Courageous Woman ❣️ During My own Growing Years, I'd heard So Much Spoken about Josephine Baker. She Inspired me to Follow her Path of Humanity to Proceed on My Own Journey to Live in Dignity, Integrity, Service and Peace. I Actually Encountered her in at the Cote d' Azur Airport in 1974. She was Beautiful and Graceful. Surrounded by Paparazzis at the Airport Corridor. I was Over the Moon when she Smiled at me❣️ But there was So Much Fuss and Ruckus ~ I Discretely Respectely her Space to CarryOn. I Shared various Mutual Friends who Knew her Personally in France. And Have Many Books on her Biography and Dedicate Works, and Life in France. She was a Noble Woman. A Heart of Gold, A Splendid Beauty, A Marvelous Empress of Cabaret Theater, the Silver Screen in Entertainment. A Woman of True Divine Courage. An Esteem Humanitarian❣️❗️
I remember first learning about Josephine Baker as a child. She is iconic. I know there have been movies made about her. But I honestly don't think any of them have done proper justice to such an accomplished and talented woman.
One of the reasons I dislike biopics, I much prefer biographies. She is now for eternity beside Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas (mixed blood), Felix Eboué (another black man), Marie Curie, the great Simone Veil and the hero of the resistance Jean Moulin and quite a number of other French great men and women. She was an exceptional human being.
It is our loss. She definitely proved she did not need America to find stardom, prosperity, a family or recognition from the most common of people to royalty. May God Bless Miss Josephine Baker.
A french super star and a heroe too, she was condecorated with légion of honor, the bigest medal in France and now in the Panthéon among Victor Hugo or madame Curie ans others, she deserves It.
Its a shame that a beautiful black Star such as herself had to go to another country to get the love she should have gotten here.Wow Rest in Heaven young lady
She danced liked I could as a child, the fact she was a spy, cool, she was cool women, she made a great friend, someone protected her, even greater The single great thing she did was raise entertainment to new levels in her own way, maybe no my type, respect for her, 100%, she did not need my whatever So I guess this is a high shout out,
Josephine JoJo Baker I love you and have been tooting a horn for you forever requesting begging for a movie about your life you are such an icon and such an inspiration and such an example of stewardship and what being a good woman is all about I love you forever ❤️ I've always wanted to follow your footsteps to France maybe one day I will get an opportunity to go there and walk the champs-elysees thank you for breaking boundaries and being my HERO
The Josephine baker story starring Lynn Whitfield was incredible! I think it’s time for another updated movie! Josephine deserves to be remembered by everyone as an incredible human being! ❤️
Slight fact correction ... Josephine wasn't the world's first black superstar.Josephine certainly was a superstar in Europe but her fame did not stretch to America until much later in her career. Long before Josephine got superstar status in the USA, the biggest black female stars in America in the 1920s were Florence Mills and Adelaide Hall. Then Ella and Billie came along in the 1930s. Adelaide Hall moved to Europe where Hall's popularity rivalled Josephine's for a time, especially in the UK. Josephine certainly was a superstar In France. History books document all these facts, and all the ladies mentioned led truly inspiring and remarkable lives.It's wonderful to see them get the recognition they all truly deserve. Well done to France for honouring Josephine at the Pantheon.
Well she WAS the world's first black superstar because the world doesn't stop at the USA. Besides, to be known in the US doesn't mean you're known (or as big) all over the world.
There should be a series done about her life. I love the fact that Grace Kelly was her good friend. I know there is a famous photo of JB in a car with a female Italian bodybuilder who was a Nazi spy, so the idea that two spies for opposing sides are together within this photo is so interesting and cool.
It's deeply rooted in America ADN....first ghost of America: the génocide, spoliation and cultural anhiliation of millions of natives... " We the People"
@@77kromah how could she have given a chance to her country if she felt not welcome there? By the way, I should better have written "an example for Americans"
" J'ai deux amours mon pays et Paris." I 'm french. Josephine Baker came in France for dancing, singing and to leave misery and racism. At this time France have big empire, lot of colonies in Africa. France was absolut racist. Josephine Baker was dancing half naked with banana aroud her. That was how the whites people imagined the African. My mother was swiss and told me about the zoo of Bâle. It was showed an African family in a case near the cage of lion. She was ten years and fifty years later she found that awful. That was the European view about African and black people. Halas, my country was also racist and fascist. In the other hand , Josephine Baker fought inside the french resistance, taking all risks, for his new country, France, but also against racism and antisemitism of a terrible, powerful, awful NAZI. For me Josephine Baker belongs to France and to USA. But she belong also to Germany, Spain, Italy, UK... And all countries in the world. She belong to this part of humanity which are turned toward luminosity. Peace, tolerant, respectful:-, ready to fight for freedom, democracy, equality, happiness, the love of life.... She merit this hommage of the french Republic, . Of this side of the french society who believes in Brotherhood and Freedom. " I've two countries my country and Paris" Excuse me for my bad engiish. Bye, Au revoir.
There is racism in France but we now know the values they cherish. America has moved one step forward but are determined to move backward two steps. Let us all unite to end racism.

Eugene Bullard is another black american soldier who fought with the french army during the WW1, he was denied to fight alongside his american comrades. Other black from France during such as Félix Eboue, Heredia or even Gaston Monterville had position in politics in France during the XX century. France is nothing like america, obssessed with races.
Eugéne Bullard was a great man and a great Frenchman ! His father said " that in France a man was judged there by his merit and not by the color of his skin " which is strictly correct.

@@romcallis Arabs in France are often more happy than in their original country generally and noone obligate them to stay in France. The debates about immigration and radical islamism after the attacks are legitimate and not necessarily with racist content as the US press seems to want to show, which is trying to restore the American image at the expense of France (one wonders why this constant relentlessness when so much is happening elsewhere). The French do not burn crosses and do not hang Arabs from trees, do not confine them to the backs of buses, do not forbid them to go to hotels, enter restaurants and use the toilets and sinks they use.

From your lips to the ears, hearts, soul and brain of all bigots.

Have always adored her♥️
