Bet y’all don’t know who this is...Nora Holt Ray (1895-1974) Nora was a composer, singer and music critic. the first African American woman to earn a masters degree in the United States from Chicago Music College. She was married five times, once to hotel owner George Holt from which she inherited a large fortune. She was also known as a wealthy “wild” socialite. She later became a music teacher and critic while also directing and producing her own radio show entitled “Concert Showcase.” I wanted to highlight Nora Holt because she lived life on her own terms. Highly educated, but free spirited. She did not color inside the lines! #ancestors #blackhistorymonth #africanamericanwomen #blackwomen #freespirt #noraholt #carlvanvechten #photography #inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt049QXFxkh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17n3t11444ilp
