Black Classical Musicians of the Twentieth Century pays homage to the overwhelming number of black musicians who have graced the stages of world-renowned opera houses and other musical landmarks. Not only are we educated about their many contributions to classical music; we are also given an in-depth look into their lives. Gordon takes us on a journey through the careers of this elite group of black men and women. He also provides a detailed list of their work and contributions to classical music. Though their childhoods, education, and musical backgrounds differ, what unites them is their passion for music and the uphill battle to achieve equality and recognition for their musical genius.
