"Some Famous Black Composers Born Before 1850" at Chicago S.O. Bookstore


Nevilla E. Ottley of Classics of Ebony writes:

It has been my passion since the 1970s to get the knowledge of our Black composers and artists out to the general public.  In 1994 I wrote a children's book Some Famous Black Composers born before 1850.  Last week Sheila Anne Dawson who used to live in the DMV and bought a book back then, was able under the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's African American Network to get 100 of them in the bookstore.
