Josephine Baker will be enterred in the Pantheon

 Bonjour tout le monde!

Have you heard about Josephine Baker?  The woman who moved from the US to France and became an icon in French night club lore, mostly due to her interpretation of the "Banana Dance".  She also was a staunch supporter of Civil Rights and even campaigned for it in the States.

She was also a war hero.  Due to her popularity, Josephine Baker would cross all over Europe doing shows and carrying secret messages for the Allied Forces.  Because of that, her remains will be taken from Monaco - where she was buried in her uniform along with her medals - and buried in the Pantheon, France's greatest honor.  She will lie in the same place as Marie Curie, Victor Hugo, and Simone Veil.
