BONDS, MARGARET ALLISON

(1913 - 1972)

Born in Chicago in 1913, Margaret Allison Bonds, who always used her mother’s maiden name rather than that of her doctor father, was actively involved in the promotion of the work of black musicians. Her own compositions are chiefly vocal and include settings of poems by the black poet Langston Hughes.
