    It would be nice to hear her singing. They should've added that so we could hear her voice.

    She earned $20,000 a year? In 1896, that was more than our $700,000 a year! That's great!

      Why? She's not a classical singer.

      Acting and executing classical technique are not the same. That is why singers work for years to achieve it.

      You clearly don't understand classical vocal techique. Most people don't. You don't walk off the street and execute proper classical vocal technique correctly. Such a role would require singing arias. It necessitates YEARS of study. 🤷‍♂️

    Hugh? There were no recordings of her voice, and she sang at so many places? No grave marking? Don't make any sense to me.

      They have newspaper editorials though. They probably didn’t bother to record a black woman at that time.
