Lena: A Legendary Name

Lena Horne
1917-2010
Lena Horne was a singer, dancer, and actress but as a whole an entertainment legend. She broke down racial boundaries by becoming one of the first African Americans to sign a long-term Hollywood studio contract in 1942. She paved the way for African Americans and especially African American women. From a Lena to another Lena, I say, thank you.
