#Skin | Josephine Baker (June 3, 1906, — April 12, 1975)

"Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul, when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood." ~ Josephine Baker, (brainyquote.com)

"During the German occupation of France, Baker worked with the Red Cross and the Résistance, and as a member of the Free French forces she entertained troops in Africa and the Middle East. She was later awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honour with the rosette of the Résistance. After the war much of her energy was devoted to Les Milandes, her estate in southwestern France, from which she began in 1950 to adopt babies of all nationalities in the cause of what she defined as “an experiment in brotherhood” and her “rainbow tribe.” She adopted a total of 12 children."

Chiunque combatta per la libertà è un fuorilegge e un eroe al tempo stesso.

Anyone who fights for freedom is an outlaw and a hero at the same time.

Quiconque se bat pour la liberté est à la fois un hors-la-loi et un héros.

Cualquiera que luche por la libertad es un forajido y un héroe al mismo tiempo.

Pope Francis Laments Failures Of Market Capitalism In Blueprint For Post-COVID World

... Its title is Fratelli Tutti, and it is a scathing description of laissez-faire capitalism and a meditation on the coronavirus pandemic that has swept across the globe. ...

Picking up on some of his favorite themes, Francis says the marketplace cannot resolve every problem and denounces what he describes as "this dogma of neo-liberal faith that resorts to the magic theories of spillover or trickle." ...

"Every brother or sister in need, when abandoned or ignored by the society in which I live, becomes an existential foreigner, even though born in the same country. They may be citizens with full rights, yet they are treated like foreigners in their own country. Racism is a virus that quickly mutates and, instead of disappearing, goes into hiding, and lurks in waiting."

The encyclical is a sharp critique of nationalism and populism. In one section, he warns against "unhealthy 'populism' when individuals are able to exploit politically a people's culture, under whatever ideological banner, for their own personal advantage or continuing grip on power." ...
