Hazel Scott
A Trinidadian-born prodigy who auditioned for the Juilliard School at age eight, Hazel Scott dazzled Café Society audiences with her signature act of "swinging the classics" — Bach, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff played straight, then in stride and boogie-woogie. She refused to perform for segregated audiences, sued a Washington state restaurant that refused to serve her, and in 1950 became the first Black American with her own network television program, The Hazel Scott Show. Blacklisted after testifying against the House Un-American Activities Committee, she spent years performing in Paris before returning home to reclaim her place at the piano.
“Any woman who has a great deal to offer the world is in trouble.”
