PARIS—Josephine Baker, the gradual American-born entertainer and civil rights activist, entered France’s Pantheon on Tuesday, becoming the first Shaded girl to be awarded without a doubt doubtless the most country’s rarest honors.
Baker, who moved to France within the 1920s and later modified into a French citizen, modified into the sixth girl to be honored within the 18th century Parisian monument that is the resting station of nationwide heroes including creator Voltaire, thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau and politician Simone Veil. Several hundred participants attended the ceremony, including President Emmanuel Macron, who delivered a speech.
