[@TBISYTC]

Treated like dirt in the country she was born; loved, respected and honored in a foreign land.

[@seanluzdeluna8153]

Yes, that's true. That's why France is recognizing her as a national hero in the Pantheon.

[@amydamjanovic9183]

This lady definitely had one of the prettiest smiles of all time.

Exactly what I was thinking w

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....it was because...she was FREE....she is the symbol of the JAZZ AGE....she was LOVED....ADORED....for being ...JOSEPHINE....

[@RuralFranceJournals]

Good visual summary of this amazing woman. However, one small error: she was actually inducted in the Pantheon on 30 November 2021, NOT 2020.

🇺🇲🇨🇵🇨🇵 👮🏻‍♂️🧐😤 Shame on America that turn there back on a "World Heroe" God Bless her.

What a life! Rest In Peace, 💗

[@dufus7396]

Wow..just wow..

[@TheFli321]

I don't want to take away from her accomplishments because she is an amazing woman!!! But this video gives me 💡 that maybe if I move... The treatment I receive from others may change. I may actually be respected more somewhere else...

[@EsotericOccultist]

Yes! Please do and convince others to join you. I beg you.

[@bhbluebird]

A lot of people still move to the USA for that exact reason. Ask an immigrant running their own business how they feel about your comment. The issue is as "black and white" as you make it out to be.

[@alh9569]

@@bhbluebird that’s great for the immigrant. it still does not give white Americans a cover for their violence towards Black and indigenous peoples.

[@bridgetisjonesing5007]

She was all about living her best life!!!! And she was a spy! Boss!!!!

She reminds me of Alicia Keyes and Janelle Monet. So amazing.

[@jasonleee9401]

Lol,aint no way you said that

[@kkibela]

How is it that all this time the only thing i knew about jb was bananas around her waist..she was phenomenal! Wow its interesting that in all the civil rights movements they never mention the women.. if they did there would likely be less misogyny in the community

[@n.gerlach7334]

You left one 'detail' out: she was an extreme homophobe. And sent her son away when he said that he was gay.

[@ruffmeow9893]

Such a baddass

[@jennyrose9454]

There is some debate after real father.
Also, many people were nixed with native Americans so you really can't say .
