Her 1970 album made her the 1st commercially successful Black female country artist. In 1969 she became the 1st solo Black woman to play at the Grand Ole Opry. She had to overcome racism and sexism to make unprecedented history.

Can you name this trailblazing Black woman in #Country music?

Had to look this one up too. I've never heard of her at all! What a sad commentary that is. Glad to know now. Looking forward to more of this great series.

One thing we want to reveal with Black Music Project is that there are many underappreciated, talented, and groundbreaking performers whose accomplishments go unrecognized due to societal barriers. We're glad you're finding the site interesting and insightful. Thank you.
