“Lena was farmed out fairly frequently and had to endure occasional racist slurs, beatings for minor infractions and schoolgirl mockery: she was called “little yellow bastard�? because of her supposedly “white daddy.�? At age 16, to the disapproval of some family members, she became a chorine at the celebrated Cotton Club, where Ethel Waters singing “Stormy Weather�? had a lasting effect on her.�?
