Lena Horne and Kermit the Frog: "When Green is all There is to Be."

My introduction to Lena Horne wasn't during her glamorous, pioneering years as the first African American to land a major, long-term film studio contract, or her staunch and highly visible commitment to civil rights. (though, in a way, it reflected both these aspects of her long and admirable life).  It was this moment from Sesame Street which she would later reprise on the Muppet Show, and which has stayed with me since I was my son's age.
