Lena Horne June 30, 1917 - May 09, 2010
There is so much you can say about Lena Horne. She was a true pioneer who abided by no boundaries.She was an amazing talent whose contribution to the entertainment industry and society will be sorely missed.
“My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. I’m free. I no longer have to be a ‘credit.’ I don’t have to be a symbol to anybody; I don’t have to be a first to anybody. I don’t have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I’d become. I’m me, and I’m like nobody else.” -Lena Horne
