Resources

Celebrate legendary jazz singer and activist Lena Horne with this virtual performance. An American icon, she shattered the color barrier in Hollywood, fought for civil rights, and made some of the greatest music of the 20^th century (“Stormy Weather,” “The Lady Is a Tramp”). This one-woman show stars Syndee Winters (The Lion King, Hamilton, Pippin), performing some of Lena’s greatest hits with a live jazz ensemble. Through a combination of stories and song, your students will learn that many of the issues Lena faced throughout her 70-year career are still relevant today.
