IN 1941, LENA

HORNE became

the first African

American woman to sign a contract with

a major Hollywood studio—and had it

written into her contract that she not play

a maid in any film.

Horne is one of the iconic African

American female entertainers featured

in How It Feels To Be Free, premiering

on American Masters.

Executive produced by Alicia Keys,

the film tells the stories of Horne, Abbey

Lincoln, Diahann Carroll, Nina Simone,

Cicely Tyson, and Pam Grier, examining

how they fought against racist stereotypes

in the entertainment industry, and used

their art, political activism, and celebrity

to reshape the narrative of Black female

identity in Hollywood and advance the

civil rights movement.

The film, based on the book How It

Feels To Be Free: Black Women

Entertainers and the Civil Rights

Movement by Ruth Feldstein,

features interviews and archi-

val performances with all

six women, as well as

conversations with con-

temporary artists they

influenced, including Keys,

Halle Berry, LaTanya Richard-

son Jackson, and Samuel L.

Jackson. It also reveals how

their activism paved the way

for contemporary movements like #TimesUp,

#OscarsSoWhite, and #BlackLivesMatter.

There was no one performance style

or political voice that characterized these

trailblazing women. The glamour of Lena

Horne and Diahann Carroll, the graceful

resilience of Cicely Tyson, the defiant

tenacity of Nina Simone and Abbey

Lincoln, and the boldness of Pam Grier

all spoke volumes.

“At this unprecedented time of racial

reckoning and as Hollywood is reassess-

ing its role in perpetuating racist

stereotypes, now is the perfect moment

to tell the stories of these path-breaking

women who have inspired generations

of Black female superstars,” said direc-

tor Yoruba Richen.

American Masters—How It Feels To

Be Free will be available to stream fol-

lowing the broadcast via the American

Masters website (pbs.org/americanmasters)
