~ A Black History Game ~ Do You Know Who This Is?

[Baps]

Here's something a little different...let's mix it up a bit. Here are two women....both known for their music career. One, I am sure you know.

I have three questions with this thread.

>Who am I?

> Who Am I?

> Who said: "Because Time Has Been Good To Me, I Treat It With Great Respect."

The above is a quote by Lena Horne.

 The top picture is not Billy Holiday or Dorothy Dandridge,

Here are a couple of clues:

> She was born in 1890..

> She was the first African Americans to develop a professional career in grand opera.
