In the Bible God had a powerful message he saved for Paul to deliver from prison. God wanted all people to share in the riches of Christ.
King James Version (KJV)
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
In addition to her legacy as an entertainer, Horne was also known for her advocacy and contributions to social justice. At an early age, Horne displayed a passion for civil rights, and she first became a member of the NAACP as a student at Atlanta's Washington High School. Later, while singing for troops during World War II, she refused to perform "for segregated audiences or for groups in which German POWs were seated in front of African American servicemen." She was in attendance at an NAACP rally with Field Secretary Medgar Evers in Jackson, Mississippi on the weekend before Evers was assassinated, and spoke and performed at the March on Washington on behalf of the NAACP, SNCC and the National Council of Negro Women.
Dr.Westbrook light complexion allowed him to pass for white and
join the Klu-Klux Klan meetings and inform Afro American's of their plans. Seems to me Clarence Thomas should take a page from his play book.
Even today in America we still have a problem within the Black community with the rainbow color of our Black skin. Lena Horne and Dr.Westbrook has proven their commitment to equality by their actions.
.. Today as you perform a random act kindness remember we are all equal in God's eyes. Be a Blessing give a Blessing of knowledge. and display your beauty and love from within.
Lena Horne Someone to watch over me.
