In the 1940s, Billie Holiday (#Bi2) faced segregation firsthand while touring the United States. During one particular tour stop in the South, she arrived at a hotel where she was scheduled to perform, only to be turned away because of her race. Undeterred, Holiday refused to let discrimination silence her voice.

Instead of succumbing to defeat, she staged an impromptu concert right on the sidewalk outside the hotel. Gathering her band and a crowd of supporters, Holiday delivered a captivating performance under the stars, defying the oppressive racial barriers that sought to confine her.

Her courageous act not only showcased her resilience in the face of discrimination but also served as a powerful statement against the injustices of segregation. Through her music and actions, Billie Holiday challenged the status quo, leaving an indelible mark on both the history of jazz and the ongoing struggle for equality. #BlackHistoryMonth

Day 17: Ethel Waters (1896 - 1977)

Ethel Waters was an American actress and blues singer. She was a trailblazer, breaking down barriers for future African American actors and singers. She was the second African American to be nominated for an Academy Award and the first African-American woman to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She was also the first African American to star on her own television show.

Waters was bisexual, enjoying relationships with both men and women. She married three men in her lifetime. In the 1920s, she was in a romantic relationship with a woman named Ethel Williams. The two lived together and were dubbed "The Two Ethels" in Harlem.

Waters's performances and music garnered a large lesbian and gay following. She does not seem to have ever spoken publicly about her sexuality.
