I’m sorry to ask but I’m from Ireland what did Jim Crow mean. I’m guessing he was a man who thought white people were better than black. Am I right was he in government who Did people think they were
I respect TF outta Mrs Horne… understand, she could have easily “passed” but chose to not only live in her truth- but she Consciously stood up for black people, and opened many doors for those to follow.
Ms. Lena was absolutely beautiful, graceful, elegant, sophisticated, talented, unapologetic and real. Her voice was absolutely amazing she had so much class and was in a league all by herself. She was truly a Queen in her own right RIP Ms. Horne 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
The story of Lena Horne regarding her struggles with racism is emblematic of the times and heartbreaking, but ultimately triumphant! I always thought of Lena as ageless and tough as stone, a very hard stone.
People are saying that no women spoke at the original March on Washington, but they're wrong. Lena Horne spoke, or rather, shouted for all to hear @41:08
I went to see Lena Horne the Lady and Her Music at the Warner Theater in Washington DC. Watching this program reminded me how much I enjoyed her performance and all of the history that was her history to command. I give God thanks 🙏 for so very much.
I’ll always remember the quote attributed to her that came on another tribute to her after she died, “It’s not how HEAVY the load is. It’s HOW you carry it.” She overcame so much and cleared the path for others to succeed.
@ 36:10 Singing next to Sinatra she made him look like a third rate chump. And Judy Garland to. Both giving off body language like - "I don't want to be here" As a youth in the 50's I was always intrigued by here look and her voice. She had the fine features of a white woman and the voice of a black woman. I love this retrospective on her life. Explains to me why I didn't see more of her growing up. She had the voice of an angel.
