Lena Horne
Happy 92nd Birthday! - June 30th
Malcolm X
made me very strong at a time
I needed to understand what I was angry about. He had peace in his heart. He exerted a big influence on
me."
"You have to be taught to be second class; You are not born that way"
"I told them, I belong to the
same organizations and clubs
Mrs. Roosevelt belongs to,
but with a few brave exceptions,
I was still unable to do films or television for the next seven years."
I'm not alone, 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.
