Shirley Graham Du Bois
Shirley Graham Du Bois (November 11, 1896 – March 27, 1977) was an American-Ghanaian writer, playwright, composer, and activist for African-American causes. Born in Indianapolis to an Episcopal minister, she moved with her family throughout the United States as a child. After marrying her first husband, she moved to Paris to study music at the Sorbonne. After her divorce and return to the United States, Graham Du Bois took positions at Howard University and Morgan College before completing her BA and master's at Oberlin College in Ohio. Her first major work was the opera Tom-Tom, which premiered in Cleveland in 1932. She married W. E. B. Du Bois in 1951, and the couple later lived in Ghana, Tanzania and China. She won several prizes, including an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for her 1949 biography of Benjamin Banneker. This photograph of Graham Du Bois was taken by Carl Van Vechten in 1946.Photograph credit: Carl Van Vechten; restored by Adam Cuerden
Tip of the moment...
Wikipedia search box focus

To avoid having to scroll to and click in the Wikipedia search box when you want to use it, there is a keyboard shortcut to move the cursor there. Alt+⇧ Shift+F works on most PC systems. For an example of a search box in which the cursor is already focused, see the Wikipedia portal page.

On MacOS, press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+F instead of Alt+⇧ Shift+F.
