  TBF it seems most of her history in the US was in entertainment and wearing a skirt made of fake bananas. Not really required learning. Her real activity seems to have taken place in France working with the French Resistance and civil rights, and unfortunately her civil rights work here was overshadowed by MLK.

    Now if you can figure out why a great American’s work MOSTLY happened in France, you might actually understand why you didn’t learn about her in school.

      And yet you learn about American men fighting in France during WW2 🤔.

      Don’t think you’re catching me out. It was understood the instant I read about her. TF is wrong with you, you go straight to being insulting.

        Sorry you feel insulted by being observed for what you are. Maybe be something better instead?
