What I researched for my history page was jazz music in the 1940's. I thought that I would connect Lutie with a famous black jazz musician. I chose Billie Holiday.Lutie wanted to sing at a night club to make money and she had a unique voice like Billie Holiday. In the 40's black musicians evolved the music of jazz. With artists like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, who created the sub-genre "bebop". Even though white clubowners weren't allowed to discriminate, black bands were still not hired and had a tough time getting gigs. I connected the racism with black musicians with Lutie as well.
