Mourning Our Loss!
Lena Horne
June 30, 1917 - May
9, 2010
Jazz Great Lena Horne
passed on May 9th. An unforgotten legend who broke many barriers. Horne
was long involved with the Civil Rights movement. In 1941, she sang at
Cafe Society and worked with Paul Robeson. During World War II, when
entertaining the troops for the USO, she refused to perform "for
segregated audiences or for groups in which German POWs were seated in
front of African American servicemen", according to her Kennedy Center
biography. Since the US Army refused to allow integrated audiences, she
wound up putting on a show for a mixed audience of black US soldiers and
white German POWs. She was at an NAACP rally with Medgar Evers in
Jackson, Mississippi, the weekend before Evers was assassinated. She
also met President John F. Kennedy at the White House two days before he
was assassinated. She was at the March on Washington and spoke and
performed on behalf of the NAACP, SNCC, and the National Council of
Negro Women. She also worked with Eleanor Roosevelt to pass
anti-lynching laws.[We
will remember her achievements and keep the family in our prayers.
Severn MD - Bro. Sewell, member
of Landmark Lodge #40, PHA decided to call it a day after 32
