Illustrated by
Elizabeth Zunon.
Despite a difficult childhood and the entertainment industry's racism, the actress, singer, and performer Lena Horne rose to Hollywood stardom and became a vocal civil rights advocate. Weatherford straightforwardly but persistently emphasizes the injustices Horne faced, celebrating her triumphs in the face of them. Zunon's evocative illustrations, in cut-paper collage and oil paint, take readers back in time to Horne's era. Reading list, websites. Bib.
