Ella FitzgeraldElla Fitzgerald’s voice was so powerful, it shook up more than audiences. In 1955, she was arrested in Houston, along with Georgiana Henry, Illinois Jacquet, and Dizzy Gillespie, officially for “gambling,” but really for daring to sing for an integrated audience. 📸: Houston Metropolitan Research Center/Houston Public Library
