The preeminent lifestyle magazine for African-American women “ESSENCE mourns the loss of Lena Horne.
With tremendous talent, striking beauty and grace, she persevered through the difficult circumstances of racial intolerance.
She not only delighted us with her talent, but inspired us with her personal calling as an advocate for civil rights.
Lena Horne is an American treasure and she lived life to the fullest with passion, purpose and responsibility.”
