Lena Horne Will Make History With Artist Prize Named In Her Honor
Lena Horne made history throughout her life of activism and entertainment. She's now set to make history once again. Horne has become the first woman of color to have a prominent entertainment award named after her. The Town Hall theater in New York City has announced its new award, the Lena Horne Prize for Artists Creating Social Im- pact. The award will honor "ex- cellence at the intersection of arts and activism," according to The Root via a press release, and will "recognize today's leading artists that are using
LENA HORNE
their platform to promote awareness and create social
change."
Gail Lumet Buckley said
in a statement that Horne's activism was part of a family legacy.
"It was a family tradition. Lena Horne's grandmother, Cora Calhoun Horne, was a suffragist, an activist and a di- rector of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Federation," she said. "For my mother, it was never just about being a house- hold name, it was about advo- cating for equality and justice and I am so proud that her legacy will continue through the Lena Horne Prize."
