As you are aware, we are marking the days leading up to GAY LESBIAN AND STRAIGHT EDUCATION NETWORK‘S annual Day of Silence …Although the national Day of Silence is on April 23, Voorhees High School will celebrate the Day of Silence on April 30. As we countdown to that date, we’re acknowledging the meaning behind each letter in the acronym for which the day is dedicated – in this case, the acronym LGBTQ. This day is brought to you by the 3rd letter of that series, the letter B — representing the word BISEXUAL. There have been many famous figures throughout history who were born into that persuasion who made history.
For example, Bessie Smith – a bisexual black woman who once not only chased off the KKK from one of her performances but was the most popular female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s. Often regarded as one of the greatest singers of her era, Miss Smith is also hailed as a major influence on other jazz, blues, and rock singers, including Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, and Janis Joplin. She has since been hailed as “Empress of the Blues”, a title which earned her a seat in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a result of her influence as both an artist and performer.
