Greetings to you. I participate in the Wikipedia project to write and edit (as collaboratively as possible); hopefully you do, too. Most often I contribute to the subject of Wales. If you want to get an idea of who I am, click around on this page or take a look at the Userboxes I've gathered and created. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have comments about my contributions or edits. "Gwnewch y pethau bychain mean bywyd"
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.
