FILE- A protest picket line organized by the New York branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, parades in front of the Stork Club in New York, Oct. 22, 1951. From left, Bessie Buchanan, personal secretary to actress Josephine Baker; Laura Hobson, author of "Gentleman's Agreement," and Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP. The NAACP alleges Miss Baker and party were refused food service at the club on Oct. 16. France is inducting Missouri-born cabaret dancer Josephine Baker, who was also a French World War II spy and civil rights activist – into its Pantheon. She is the first Black woman honored in the final resting place of France’s most revered luminaries. On the surface, it’s a powerful message against racism, bt by choosing a U.S.-born figure -- entertainer Josephine Baker – critics say France is continuing a long tradition of decrying racism abroad while obscuring it at home.
