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.

A drawing of a Black female musician wearing a western get-up consisting of a sequined vest and cowboy hat. She plays an acoustic guitar. Next to the illustration is the question: With the release of her album Color Me Country in January of 1970, she became the first commercially successful Black female country artist. She became the first solo Black woman to play at the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. She would go on to play at the Opry eleven more times. She had to overcome racism and sexism to make unprecedented history. Can you name this trailblazing Black woman who broke down barriers in country music?

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.
