Horne's career was marked by her battle against racism and segregation. But that made her triumphs and successes all the more fascinating. She was regularly passed over for major Hollywood roles, and was given roles as a singer instead. Roles which could easily be edited out of movies once they reached the south. She was considered too dark to play any main character, yet too light-skinned to play a maid. (The character most often assigned to a black female actress.) Horne definately felt the weight and pressure of race on her life.
