Lena Horne, the popular African American performer of the 1940's and 1950s was born on June 30, 1917. She was an only child born to Edwin f. Horne Jr.(Teddy) and Edna Scottron. Jacob Wilkinson.
When her mother remarried, the young Lena was raised by her grandparents. She attended Washington high school in Atlanta, and then Girls high school (now Boys and Girls high school) in Brooklyn. Her paternal grandmother, Cora Calhoun Horne, was a political activist who persuaded Lena to join the NAACP. At 16, having dropped out of high school, Horne became a dancer at Harlem's Cotton Club, encountering the music of Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Billie Holiday, and meeting all the stars that performed there.
