Lena Horne with Tuskegee Airmen

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Lena Horne with Tuskegee Airmen on January 1, 1945. There are countless photos of Ms. Horne visiting Tuskegee Airmen and other military personnel to show her support for their service. She also showed her support for them by refusing to perform for segregated military audiences during World War II.
