*Wrote...* I am a 37 year old wife and mother of two. I have returned back to school to obtain my Masters in Middle Childhood Education. One of the requirements for the Music class that I am enrolled in, is to write a research paper. I knew that we had African American contributors to music, but I didn't know that there were so many. Especially in the field of Classical Music. I am elated that this website exits and it has been a wonderful source, which I am including on my bibliography page, or me. Also it will allow me to share all this knowledge with my 9-year old daughter. The efforts of all those who have contributed to creating this site, for keeping it updated with pertinent information, etc., you are a God send. God bless you all and continue to be encouraged as you are an encouragement, I'm sure, to many African American children who didn't know.

*Wrote...* Hi all you fans! I'm just delving into Leontyne's history. She is a cousin of mine, can you imagine how proud I must feel even though she doesn't know I exist??! :-) I have many, many highly talented members in my family including my father Rodney Richardson, bassist and known most for his work with pianist Art Tatum, the Count Basie Orchestra (during the '40's), Lester Young, Duke Ellington, etc. My dad now performs weekly with me, YEAH!! My children have inherited "the gift". They're pretty good musicans! "Life gets better every day!" Michele Richardson, jazz vocalist

*Wrote...* P.S. Everyone interested in spirituals and the history of Black classical performers should see the PBS video PBS Great Performances: Aida's Brothers and Sisters: Black Voices in Opera. Here is the web address: http://www.pbs.org/whatson/press/winspring/gp_aida.html Here is a description of the video: Before there was Leontye Price or Jessye Norman - even before Marian Anderson - there was Sissieretta Jones, arguably the greatest black performer of 19th-century America and certainly the first great black diva. Dubbed the "Black Patti" - a dubiously flattering allusion to Italian-American prima donna Adelina Patti - the Virginia-born Jones, daughter of an ex-slave, performed before four U.S. presidents, was showered with jewels from heads of state and wealthy admirers, and even drew so many fans at one concert in New Jersey that 1,000 had to be turned away. Vaguely remembered today - and, at best, a footnote in opera annals - Jones mesmerized critics and audiences alike. Following a concert at Washington's National Theater, the Washington Post proclaimed, "Probably no voice of our time has made such an impression by its vibration, its purity and its natural flexibility." GREAT PERFORMANCES salutes Jones and numerous other African-American opera stars in "Aida's Brothers and Sisters: Black Voices in Opera," airing on PBS. This revealing and inspiring documentary also looks back on the careers of Elizabeth Taylor-Greenfield, Paul Robeson, Camille Williams, Dorothy Maynor, Marian Anderson, Leontyne Price, Jessye Norman, Simon Estes, Robert McFerrin and Kathleen Battle. For African Americans, the road to the white opera footlights has not been an easy one. Only 61 years ago, the great contralto Marian Anderson was barred from singing at Washington's Constitution Hall. According to Rosalyn M. Story, a historian who appears in "Aida's Brothers and Sisters," the first major stage inroads were made in tandem with the civil rights movement of the early 1960s. "Just as Rosa Parks anchored the movement for equality in Montgomery, Ida B. Wells Barnett fought against the evil of lynching in the South and Mary McLeod Bethune crusaded for the education of blacks, Marian Anderson and the great artists who preceded her forged a new order in a world where black voices were often ignored and at best, severely underrated," she says. "Marian Anderson and Leontyne Price are icons who presented a universe of possibilities." Story, a violinist with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and author of And So I Sing, the definitive account of African-American divas and their roots, shares observations in the telecast with a number of black opera artists. These include Betty Allen, Ann Brown, Grace Bumbry, Reri Grist, Barbara Hendricks; tenors Thomas Young and George Shirley; and countertenor Derek Lee Ragin. Also on hand are legendary German opera director Goetz Friedrich and young members of Opera Ebony. Threaded throughout "Aida's Brothers and Sisters" are opera excerpts featuring the exceptional artists. Good luck everyone! Lourin

*Wrote...* Ruby Elzy. I'm overwhelmed. Who worked for my mother when I was a child. Our "baby" sitter. I always feared she was forgotton. I do know she died of peritonitis in Detroit because hospitals would not take blacks. My mother talked about Ruby for years, Unfortunatly I can only vaguely recall her. My Irish mother always gave Ruby extra money or whatever she could as she was so enthralled with her talent, and handling adversity. My mother saw Ruby on a street car some years later, sat down with her to chat and was roundly scolded by a white woman, sitting in front of her, for sitting and talking to a black person. The woman got up an sat somewhere else after a terse reply. (I'm 79 this month) Ths is a treasured memory.

*Wrote...* I've come across your web site on the weekend that the The Detroit Public Library is celebrating the Legacy of Roland Hayes March 23 -25. Mr. Hayes' remarkable achievements as the first African American to establish an international concert career are often overlooked. The Detroit Public Library acquired Roland Hayes Manuscript Collection and it is housed at our Main Library. On March 25 we are presenting the inaugural Roland Hayes Trailblazer Award to Mattiwilda Dobbs who has joined us for the weekend. Roland Hayes should be added to the list of artists for whom you are developing biographies. I'd be happy to help make that happen. Alma Simmons, Interim Assistant Director for Marketing, Detroit Public Library.

*Wrote...* While looking for the complete verses to "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" I came across your info on Harry Burleigh, the composer. A song, poem, or story has more meaning when you know the facts behind it. How interesting that a man formally educated in the musical classics gave us the song that I think is the greatest of the spirituals. I suppose it goes to show that a song with a simple message is underneath quite a detailed work of art that Burleigh could bring his various disciplines to.
