It is because of things like this and the treatment of African American soldiers during WW II that I will always have respect and a place in my heart for the French.
huissiers de justice etc... expulsion by the new master of this castle
Joséphine parvient à retarder son expulsion, mais le 15 mars 1969 le nouveau propriétaire la met dehors par la force, et elle s'installe avec ses douze enfants dans un deux pièces à Paris
Thanks for a very informative summary of Josephine Baker's life. I feel she was way ahead of her time, a forerunner, but sadly it takes a long time for the rest of society to catch up and live by brotherly love and goodwill.
She abandonned her American citizenship in 1937 and became fully French. She was American from 1906 et 1937 and French from 1937 to 1975. Baker was very proud to be French.
She was NOT an American, she was French. She chose to be with those who treated her as a human and enjoyed her art...not the Americans full of their horrible racist rubbish.
I visited this beautiful castle that seems to come from a fairy tale ... everything is happiness to be found in this amazing place where the presence of Josephine is constant! I do not know before and have found during this visit. I was amazed to discover a huge international star
j'ai visité ce chateau merveilleux qui semble sortir d'un conte de fée... tout n'est que bonheur de se retrouver dans cette étonnante demeure où la présence de Josephine est constante! je ne la connaissais pas avant et l'ai découverte lors de cette visite. J'ai été stupéfait de découvrir une très grande star internationale
Well she know the America was still her roots...she had always been American but chose not to live their because of the standard of life their....remember she was a rights activist and was one of the reason she kept coming back to America! Like her song " j'ai duex amours" she had two loves France and USA! Her son wrote a book about his mother you should read it ..its called " rainbow tribe"
She was American only for a few years (her first 29 years). Then she became a French citizen and renowned her US citizenship. She moved to France when she was 19. After all, why continue to hold a passport from a racist country that treats you as a second class citizen?
Durant la seconde guerre mondiale, ma grand-mère était infirmière à l'Hôpital Boucicaut à Paris. Joséphine avait été blessée à l'arcade sourcilière durant l'une de ses représentations. Ma grand-mère faisait partie de la Résistance, tout comme Joséphine. Elle faisait "disparaître" des soldats anglais par les souterrains de l'hôpital. Joséphine et ma grand-mère ont sympathisé. J'ai été élevée avec cette belle histoire. J'ai fait tatouer Joséphine et sa ceinture de banane sur ma hanche droite...
@irislovesdc Time has indeed come and gone since you posted this petite autobiographie. But I'll comment on it anyway, hoping you won't mind. If you have a summer house "around the corner," you're living an incredible life. To be near such history -- all of France, really -- and such beauty. Do you ever visit the home of Alexandre Dumas?
