1 November 2024 will see the 97th anniversary of Florence Mills death,
with the biggest funeral Harlem had ever seen.
Below is the song Florence
dedicated to her washerwoman mother Nellie, sung here by Florence's
dedicated contemporary fan Elisabeth Welch
Silver Rose
Florence
was known as the Queen of Happiness, with love for all and hate for
none.
For her fellow African Americans today one way to honor her memory
would be to vote for a woman of color, Kamala Harris, to defeat the hatred
being preached by Donald Trump .
