“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.”
- Ms. Lena Horne at age 80
Check out CNN's Photo essay Remembering Lena Horne. The legacy of this lovely and dynamic singer and civil rights leader will not be quickly forgotten.
RIP Sweet Songbird!
