Lena has also been awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Howard University.

Lena was one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood and the first female African American actress to receive a long-term contract.
She held her own in an industry that cast her off, in a studio that kept her as a token, and in a society that was too close minded for her progressive thinking. She learned how to take criticism and bounce back after constant rejection and unequal treatment, qualities that were much needed in a time when the industry was very limited for people of color. In You Must Remember This, Longworth put it best when she said: “in an age when black film actresses were confined either to low-budget “race movies” or to play maids or whores, Horne was the screen’s first Negro goddess and bowed to no one”

Mae West once said “Good women are no fun… the only good woman I can recall in history was Betsy Ross. And all she ever made was a flag.” Mae West did not just say this quote because she was a struggling actress that needed respect in the past, she said this on Betsy’s behalf that died trying to earn respect from other people including us. Even though she was castigated by many, over the course of her eighty-four years on earth she accomplished more than any could imagine like sewing for the Revolutionary War, joined a war supporting Quaker group, created the nation’s flag, and many other accomplishments that went unwritten in American history. Some might say that American hero, George Washington lied that he asked Betsy Ross to make the first flag American and that all two of her three husbands died because of her making the flag because of evidence.
By showing that she can do that she is setting examples that anyone can do anything they just have to put in the work and never give up not matter what. Like Katherine Johnson known as the woman who loved to count, she also had many other wonderful things in her life like being a wife ,mother, and a right to freedom in history. Her life has inspired many young women around the world to stand for what they want in life and don't hold back and also respect people and make sure they respect

A person with dreams they can’t achieve is like someone who doesn’t have a life. That person may know what they want to achieve, but doesn’t know how. Lucille Ball was a girl who couldn't afford much, even pencils. She decided to drop out of high school at age 15. Lucille did pursue her dreams, though.
She became incredibly famous because she took a stand and became a central figure in an issue that developed into one of the most controversial topics in the 1950’s. Also, in the right, bottom corner, another line states, “We’ve been holding it open since 1955.” Her actions and experiences elevated her to celebrity status.
