“My identity is very clear to me now.
I am.... A BLACK WOMAN.
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 "1st" to ANYbody.
I don’t have to be an imitation of a white woman.....
that Hollywood hoped I’d become.
I’m ME...and, I’m like NOBODY else.”
------Lena Horne '98
