"From the spotlight to the flame of resistance" Singer, dancer, revue leader, this lover of France – her country of heart – engaged in the Resistance and finished the war with the rank of lieutenant of the French Army. In 1946, she received the French Liberation Medal against racism. She continued to fight against racism and supported the American Civil Rights Movement alongside Martin Luther King. She was involved in many struggles. A lover of France, her second homeland, she was honored to be the 6th woman to enter the Panthéon, and the 5th to be honored there. A street now bears her name in the new district of Montigny-lès-Metz.
