Stephanie Mills sang it, Diana Ross dubbed it, but Miss Lena Horne made us "Believe" there's a "Home" for all of us. Such style, grace, charm, class, beauty, and strength! No one could ever match the lovely, Miss Lena Horne. God Bless you. Your impression on this earth is so great and so deep that we'll miss you only barely.
Lena Horne. A jazz legend, a great lady and one of my all time favorites from that era. A very beautiful woman who broke racial barriers in a very bigoted era of Hollywood. An era filled with blacks playing butlers and maids while playing stupid while supposedly being just smart enough to sing a tune and shine somebody's shoes and OK to call a black man or woman a n*****. But Hollywood is still racist and through these white owned conglomerates use advertising on-line and with regular TV commercials would still have the average human being believe that romance among the races even in this day and age just doesn't exist. It does if you live in a fantasy world and wear a white sheet over your head. You see it in beer commercials and family vacations. A Birth Of a Nation made in 1915 by D.W. Griffith addressed the brutality of man against man and showed the true hatred aimed at people of color during times when some blacks would disappear at night and never be seen again all over America. It's thirst for homegrown terrorism and genocide and lies has never really been attacked for what its is since it was made or its resurrection of the Klan from the ashes. The Emmy's and the Oscars at the end of the year are always supposed to stand for morality, decency, be kind to all human beings man and woman. How can you stand for all of this with this kind of false advertising to the public when it appears that you have no morals at all? When you think about the era that she grew up in with segregated restaurants and military camps. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to realize how hard it was to be Black in those days. The World Wars didn't bring any new freedom for the blacks that fought for this country. It was an era of WHITE and COLORED only sections and water fountains. When calling the average person Miss or Sir was mandatory. An era where if a black man looked or whistled at a white woman they would be found and lynched. Lena Horne 1917-2010 Rest In Peace you made a very big difference in this ever ending argument about morality and decency among all human beings. When genocide could be involved to get to the solution.
Lena Horne Ed Bradley my two favorite people Ed really earned his stripes with this interview I would have just stared. Ms Horne is the most beutiful woman in the world
