Josephine Baker's remains will be housed in the French Pantheon 46 years after her death
The famous jazz singer will be given one of the greatest honors in France at the end of this year, which was approved by the French president and confirmed by the Minister of Economy.
French-American jazz singer and dancer Josephine Baker died in 1975 and is buried in Monaco. However, it has been announced that this will change.
Namely, the French Minister of Economy Agnès Pannier-Runacher (47), who confirmed via Twitter the decision to show Baker one of the greatest honors in France. Her posthumous remains will be moved to the Pantheon Mausoleum in Paris, which has been written about for some time.
- Artist and activist Josephine Baker was a symbol in the resistance movement and then in the struggle for civil rights with Martin Luther King. That great lady, who loved France, will enter the Pantheon - the minister wrote and thanked French President Emmanuel Macron (43) for making it possible.
So Baker will be buried with other French greats such as writers Voltaire, Victor Hugo, and Émile Zola. In 1995, Marie Curie was transferred to the Pantheon and she was the first woman buried there because of her importance and achievement.
