It's fitting, in a sense, that on Mother's Day Lena
Horne left this world. She gave us so much, from
that winning smile to that grand sense of beauty
and style. She gave birth to a whole new ideal of
Black female sophistication and most importantly,
she did it on her terms so that future generations
could do the same. Ms.Horne, thank you...and
rest in power.
