 Lena Horne was threatened. She rarely toured in the South. She had an interracial marriage that made her even more of a target. But she was best buds. Fascinating story. I wish I knew more about this. She was best buds with William Thomas Strayhorn. She and Billy Strayhorn were soulmates. Now, you know, nothing was going to happen because Billy was an out gay man. But she loved Billy Strayhorn.
